Hand Knotted Carnelian Gemstone Necklace.

This single-strand necklace features genuine, natural Carnelian gemstone beads polished to a brilliant, high-gloss finish. The carnelian beads display a gorgeous, fiery translucent burnt-orange and apricot colour tone.

Did you Know?

Carnelian is one of the oldest traded gemstones in human history, dating back to ancient Egyptian royalty and Roman seal rings.

It belongs to the chalcedony family of quartz, getting its distinct warm sunset coloration from natural traces of iron oxidized within the stone.

Because it is a hard stone (rating 7 on the Mohs hardness scale), it holds a high-gloss polish for decades without scratching, making vintage strands like this highly durable heirlooms.
