Radiating warmth, confidence, and timeless charm, Carnelian is a gemstone that has been revered since antiquity. With its glowing hues ranging from sunset orange and rich amber to deep, earthy red, carnelian evokes the energy of fire and the strength of the sun—a bold yet elegant choice for those who want their jewelry to make a statement with color and character.
Belonging to the chalcedony family, carnelian is a microcrystalline quartz known for its translucent warmth and smooth polish. Often cut as cabochons or carved into traditional motifs, it offers a natural luster that’s especially striking in both gold and silver settings. Its historical use in ancient Egyptian, Roman, and Islamic jewelry speaks to its enduring allure and cultural importance.
With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, carnelian is durable enough for everyday wear—making it an ideal gemstone for rings, pendants, bracelets, and earrings. Our collection features both natural and lightly heat-enhanced carnelian, sourced from India, Brazil, and Madagascar, chosen for its depth of color and exceptional quality.
