Russian Amazonite Information

Russian amazonite beads feature a vibrant blue-green color. These striking beads come from the Ural Mountains in Russia.

Formation

Amazonite forms in granite pegmatites. The unique color arises from the presence of lead and water within the mineral structure. As the mineral crystallizes, it creates the bright blue-green hue that characterizes these beads.

Fashion and Jewelry

Russian amazonite beads enhance various jewelry designs. Artisans create necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that showcase their vivid colors. The beads add a pop of color to any outfit and appeal to fashion-forward individuals.

History, Mythology, and Symbolism

In ancient cultures, amazonite held significant meaning. People believed it provided protection and harmony. The bright color symbolizes hope and positivity, making it a popular choice in spiritual practices.

Mining, Production, and Applications

Miners extract amazonite from the Ural Mountains. Russian amazonite is rare and highly valued for its quality and color. Craftspeople polish and shape the beads for use in jewelry and decorative items.

Russian amazonite beads represent beauty and strength. Their captivating color and rich history make them a favorite among collectors and jewelry lovers alike.

Care Guide

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the 18k gold-plated hooks and stainless steel components with a soft, dry cloth. To clean the semi-precious stone beads, use a damp cloth to wipe them and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions that could damage the gold plating or stones.
  • Storage: Store the earrings in a dry, cool place, ideally in a fabric pouch or jewelry box. To avoid scratching, keep them separate from other jewelry items. Always store earrings away from extreme temperatures and humidity to preserve the gold plating and stone quality.
  • Gold Plating Care: 18k gold plating is delicate and can wear off with prolonged exposure to moisture, lotions, perfumes, or harsh chemicals. To extend the life of the gold plating, remove earrings before swimming, showering, or applying beauty products. Clean the gold-plated hooks gently with a soft cloth to maintain their shine.
  • Stainless Steel & Stone Bead Care:
    • Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is durable and resistant to tarnish. However, it may still discolor if exposed to moisture or chemicals. Wipe stainless steel components regularly with a cloth to maintain their luster.
    • Semi-Precious Stone Beads: Stone beads are naturally sturdy but may be sensitive to chemicals and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing them to perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics. Gently wipe them with a soft cloth to remove dirt, and avoid soaking them in water. Stones like lapis lazuli, turquoise, and agate can be particularly sensitive to prolonged moisture.
  • General Durability: Handle with care to avoid impacts or abrasions that could damage the gold plating or stones. Avoid wearing the earrings during activities that involve excessive sweating, such as exercise, or sleeping, as this can cause wear over time.

Weight Priciples

In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab.

Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
