People often describe it as “the stone of earth energy” because of its grounding and protective properties. Found primarily in the Ural Mountains and Siberian regions of Russia, this mineral mainly consists of hydrated magnesium silicate. Its characteristic dark green to light yellowish-green coloration features intricate mottling, streaking, or banding, making it a popular choice for jewelry, beads, and carvings.

Ancient peoples viewed this stone as a powerful protector, especially for travelers and warriors. They believed it would enhance endurance and provide protection in difficult situations. These cultural beliefs contribute to the stone’s enduring popularity.

Care Guide
Durability
- Natural Semi-Precious Stone Round Beads (Serpentine): Serpentine is a moderately durable stone, though it can be prone to scratches and damage when subjected to rough handling. While it is tough enough for daily wear, it is important to avoid direct impact or exposure to abrasive surfaces to preserve the stone’s natural surface.
- Hypoallergenic Stainless Steel Hooks: Stainless steel is a durable, corrosion-resistant metal, ideal for sensitive skin. These hooks are designed to withstand regular wear and provide a secure, comfortable fit without tarnishing or causing irritation.
Suitability
- Casual Wear: These earrings are perfect for adding an earthy and calming touch to casual outfits. The green tones of the serpentine beads provide a natural, balanced look that complements a wide range of clothing styles.
- Special Occasions: The unique natural appearance of the serpentine beads makes these earrings suitable for more refined, yet understated, looks for special occasions. Their subtle elegance can elevate both day and evening wear.
Storage
- Protecting Serpentine Beads: Store the earrings in a soft jewelry pouch or box to avoid scratches and damage to the serpentine beads. Keep them separate from other jewelry pieces that could cause abrasion to the beads’ surface.
- Protecting Stainless Steel Hooks: While stainless steel is durable, it’s a good idea to store the earrings in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture buildup. This will help maintain the shine and prevent tarnishing.
Cleaning
- Serpentine Beads: Clean the serpentine beads with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the stone. If necessary, you may use a slightly damp cloth, but ensure the beads are thoroughly dried afterward to prevent moisture absorption.
- Stainless Steel Hooks: Clean the stainless steel hooks with a soft cloth to maintain their luster. If needed, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush to clean the hooks. After cleaning, dry them immediately to avoid water spots.
General Care Tips
- Avoid Impact: Serpentine is a relatively soft stone and should be handled with care to avoid chipping or scratching. Avoid dropping the earrings or exposing them to hard surfaces.
- Keep Dry: Remove the earrings before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities where they could be exposed to moisture. While stainless steel is water-resistant, the serpentine beads may be affected by prolonged exposure to water.
- Avoid Chemicals: Keep the earrings away from perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage both the serpentine beads and the stainless steel hooks.
