Known as a stone of motivation and endurance, leadership and courage, Carnelians have protected and inspired throughout history. Carnelian is an orange-colored variety of Chalcedony, a mineral of the Quartz family. In antiquity, as well as today, Carnelian is believed to help timid speakers become both eloquent and bold. Ancient Warriors wore Carnelian around their neck for courage and physical power to conquer their enemies, and the ancient Egyptians called Carnelian "the setting sun." Carnelian is said to attract prosperity, new resources and good luck. It is a talisman for success in any money-making venture. In the workplace, it is a crystal of ambition, drive and determination.
Acquired from the estate of a well-known jewelry collector, this stunning Art Deco ring has a carved carnelian with a bird and flower, possibly Asian in origin. Haloed by seed pearls and mounted on a fabulous shank of yellow, rose and white gold, it will be a go-to for that unique piece in your collection!
