Carnelian and Copper Necklace Earrings Set

Description

Carnelian (also sometimes referred to as cornelian) is found primarily in India, as well as various sites in South America. It is a variety of chalcedony. The most favorable pieces are a deep red to red-orange hue. Carnelian has a long and storied past, and was once considered strictly the property of the noble class. People holding a high social status were often buried with this gem stone.

The earrings are simple and beautiful and measure 2 inches from top of hoop. The necklace, measuring 24 inches, is subtly asymmetrical and features a simple to use pure copper toggle clasp. Beads range from tan to rust, and beige to light brown. Other beads include coral discs, carved bone, betel nut, and soo chow jade.
