“In the heart of change, we find our true form; as we embrace the process of becoming, we discover strength in every shift, forging a path toward wholeness.”
Round vesuvianite beads showcase the beauty of this unique mineral. Vesuvianite, also known as idocrase, is a silicate mineral. It typically appears in shades of green, brown, or yellow. People use vesuvianite for its striking colors and metaphysical properties.
Vesuvianite goes by several names, often reflecting its appearance and origins. The name “idocrase” comes from the Greek words “ido,” meaning “mixed,” and “crasis,” meaning “to blend.” This refers to its complex crystal structure.
The name “vesuvianite” stems from Mount Vesuvius in Italy, where miners discovered the mineral in the 18th century. Other names include “browningite,” “californite,” and “suhlite.” “Browningite” refers to its brownish hues. “Californite” highlights its occurrence in California, particularly in the Sierra Nevada region. “Suhlite” comes from a specific location in Afghanistan where it is found.
Jewelry makers favor round vesuvianite beads for their vibrant colors and unique textures. Designers often use these beads in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. The distinct appearance of vesuvianite adds character to any piece.
Historically, people have associated vesuvianite with transformation and healing. Some believe it can enhance intuition and creativity. Many also view vesuvianite as a stone of personal growth.
Miners extract vesuvianite primarily in Italy, Canada, and the United States. The mineral forms in metamorphic rocks under high pressure and temperature. Vesuvianite beads undergo cutting and polishing to create stunning jewelry pieces.
Artisans and jewelers often combine vesuvianite with other gemstones, creating beautiful and diverse designs. The popularity of vesuvianite beads continues to grow, making them a valuable addition to any jewelry collection.

6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) 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. Oathfeed Classic Design
