Carnelian Jewelry

Carnelian glows in bright translucent shades that range from orange to reddish orange, including a burnished orange hue that is ideal for men's jewelry. The mysticism surrounding this bright gem dates back to the Egyptians, who believed it had special powers in the afterlife. Greeks and Romans considered it a protective stone that would bring good luck; they used it in rings and cameos. Regarded as an amulet, in India carnelian adorned gold and silver pendants. Raj Kumari expands on this ancient tradition through his unique marble inlay jewelry boxes, where carnelian blossoms along colorful gems. Associated with action, carnelian jewelry makes for the ideal gift for actors and actresses, singers, performers, speakers, musicians and sportspeople. Novica's versatile collection showcases carnelian alone, as well as in the company of gems like turquoise, labradorite and pearls, creating fiery contrasts.
