Orange-red faceted drops that catch light the way warm embers do—deep and shifting.
Carnelian is a translucent variety of chalcedony—microcrystalline quartz colored orange to red by dispersed iron oxides within the silica matrix. The faceted cut maximizes the stone's internal light refraction, intensifying the warm tone. Mohs 6.5–7 makes it a durable choice for earrings that will be worn regularly. Most commercial carnelian is heated to deepen its color, a centuries-old and universally accepted trade practice. Set in solid .925 sterling silver.
Carnelian is September's traditional birthstone. The ancient Sumerians and Egyptians fashioned it into amulets and seals; the Persians, Greeks, and Babylonians used it in signet rings. In the chakra tradition, carnelian is placed with the sacral chakra and linked to creativity, courage, and energetic drive.
Statement drop earrings for anyone drawn to warm earth tones. The orange-red reads strongly against silver and also pairs well with gold.
