Description

  • Indian Carnelian oval beads 16x8mm on 16-inch strands
  • These are a lovely shape for all kinds of jewelry including earrings, a bit of a splurge but totally worth it for elevating designs beyond the ordinary.
  • Carnelian gets its color from iron oxides, and its name from the Kornel cherries
  • The finest Carnelians come from India, where they have been cut, polished, and exported for many thousands of years
  • Most Carnelian is heat treated and may fade if exposed to excessive light
  • Carnelian is a birth stone for Aires, relates to the sacral chakra, and is believed to support qualities of leadership and courage.
  • I like to pair Carnelian with Turquoise and/or Lapis; a range of greens with amber colors; or white and bronze pearls.
