Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, a type of quartz, and is known for its beautiful reddish-orange to orange-brown color. It is a popular gemstone used in jewelry and has been treasured for its aesthetic and metaphysical properties for centuries.
Carnelian jewelry is crafted by cutting, shaping, and polishing the carnelian gemstone into various forms, such as cabochons, beads, or intricate carvings. These carnelian pieces are then set into jewelry settings made from materials like silver, gold, or other metals.
To maintain the beauty of carnelian jewelry, clean it with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposing carnelian to harsh chemicals or prolonged sunlight to prevent fading of its vibrant color.
