Carnelian is a semi-precious stone of unparalleled warmth. Its red-orange hue, ranging from terracotta brown to deep blood red, is the result of natural iron oxides trapped in silica. A stone of fire and life, carnelian was already worn by Egyptian pharaohs, Roman warriors, and Ottoman sultans as a symbol of courage and vitality.
At Vindicta, we work with natural carnelian in combination with solid 925 silver, following the tradition of Middle Eastern jewelers who made this stone one of the most used in Islamic jewelry. The contrast between the fiery red of carnelian and the cool gleam of silver creates jewelry of striking elegance.
