Carnelian Necklace — Handcrafted Copper Talisman Jewelry
Handcrafted in copper around a warm carnelian heart, this talisman necklace anchors creative courage and grounded energy for daily ritual—the meeting of earth metal and healing crystal for mindful, purposeful living and intentional presence.
This isn’t just jewelry. It’s a talisman for the woman who moves through the world with intention — grounded, radiant, and alive in her magic.
Materials & Process
Each Carnelian Boho Heart is created using a slow electroforming method where copper is grown around the stone, preserving the crystal’s organic shape and raw character. The piece is carefully hand-finished, polished at the edges, and sealed with a protective coating to slow patina and wear. This handmade crystal talisman is paired with a warm rose-gold fill chain for modern glow and lightweight wear.
Crystal Properties
Carnelian is a classic healing crystal known for its solar warmth, creative spark, and courage-enhancing energy. As a grounding crystal and metaphysical talisman, carnelian supports motivation, focus, and confident momentum in daily life—helpful for artists, leaders, and anyone seeking emotional balance and empowerment. Associated with vitality and the sacral chakra, carnelian also resonates with zodiac energies such as Leo and Aries, and is often selected as a meaningful birthstone gift.
Purpose & Meaning
Worn close to the heart, the copper-wrapped carnelian serves as a ritual adornment and constant reminder to return to presence. Copper amplifies the stone’s energy while connecting you to earth elements—copper → carnelian → purpose—so the talisman becomes a companion for creative practice, meditation, or everyday courage. This piece is handcrafted copper jewelry that moves with you, offering grounding, protection, and a touch of clarity whenever you need it.
- Pendant: Carnelian heart, approximately 1" (size and shape vary — each is unique)
- Setting: Electroformed copper, hand-finished and sealed
- Chain: Rose-gold fill chain, delicate drape; multiple lengths available for layering
- Style: Boho talisman — everyday ritual adornment and spiritual jewelry
Designed to settle with a gentle weight and to sit as a small ritual on the chest, this carnelian necklace makes a thoughtful spiritual gift for someone seeking creative renewal or a steadying presence.
Each talisman is one-of-a-kind, born of earth and alchemy — made to steady your energy and remind you to return to your center.
The Metal
The Metal
Your necklace may be handcrafted in copper, and may have brass, bronze, silver, or stainless steel elements. Each metal carries its own character — copper’s earthy warmth, brass’s golden brightness, bronze’s aged depth, silver’s cool glow, and steel’s lasting strength. All pieces are nickel-free and finished for comfortable, daily wear.
Micro-Ritual
Micro-Ritual
Before fastening your necklace, pause for a breath.
Let your fingers trace the pendant or stone and feel its weight — a reminder of the steady rhythm beneath everything you do.
As you bring the clasp to the back of your neck, set a quiet aim for the day: to stay rooted, to speak truth, to move with ease.
Wear it close to your heart as a touchstone — a way to return to yourself whenever the world pulls you off-center.

Care & Maintenance
All metals and leather will naturally age with time and wear — it’s part of their alchemy.

Remove before showering or swimming. Use a soft cloth; avoid abrasive polishing on patinated copper.
Materials & Metals
Each necklace is handcrafted from raw copper, and may include elements of brass, bronze, silver, or stainless steel, paired with carefully chosen stones, crystals, or natural elements.
Every piece is shaped by hand through the slow process of electroforming — a melding of earth, metal, and time that creates unique textures and forms.
All metals are nickel-free and sealed for comfortable, daily wear. Slight variations in color, texture, or patina are natural signs of the handmade process — each one-of-a-kind, just like its wearer.

Leather cords offer a grounded, natural feel and can be worn short as a choker or long for layering — making them versatile for both men’s and women’s styles.
