Carnelian

Carnelian is a warm, vibrant gemstone prized for its rich orange to deep red hues and timeless appeal. Known for symbolizing motivation, courage, and vitality, carnelian has been used in jewelry for thousands of years. It was especially favored for signet rings and wax seals in ancient civilizations such as Roman and Egyptian cultures, because hot wax does not stick to its smooth surface. This unique property allowed for clean, sharp impressions on correspondence and official documents, making carnelian both a practical and beautiful choice that continues to inspire gemstone jewelry today as in our earrings, pendants, necklaces and rings.
