Carnelian Earrings | Sterling Silver

Carnelian Drop Earrings in Sterling Silver.

Carnelian has been used for jewellery as far back as Early Neolithic times. Faceted carnelian beads have been found that are more than 7000 years old from Asia and Europe. Carnelian is mentioned widely in the Bible. ‘Carnelian’ is derived from the Latin, “corneolus”, the cornel cherry.

Since ancient times, Carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold, and to impart courage and physical power to warriors. In ancient Egypt it was worn to show rank amongst builders and architects and is long associated with these professions. In its lighter tones it represented female energies and the mother goddess, Isis and in darker hues, the ancient Egyptians considered it the active male energy stone. Carnelian is traditionally worn to enhance passion, love, and desire and to attract prosperity, new resources and good luck. It is a talisman for success in any money-making venture
