Handcrafted Carnelian Necklace
This carnelian necklace features a genuine carnelian stone with vibrant orange-red hues—a stone of courage, creativity, and grounded vitality. I electroform each piece in my Santa Fe studio, a meditative process where copper is slowly deposited onto the carnelian stone and organic elements over many hours, creating an organic, nature-inspired design. The copper develops a living patina that evolves beautifully with you.

Care Instructions
Carnelian is relatively durable but treat this handcrafted necklace gently to avoid impacts. The copper will develop a beautiful living patina over time—polish with a soft cloth if you prefer brightness. Cleanse energetically by placing in sunlight (carnelian loves solar energy), on selenite, or with sage smoke. Carnelian is a stone of courage and creativity, so cleanse your carnelian necklace regularly to maintain its vibrant, empowering energy.
Crystal Lore
Carnelian, also known as the "Stone of Courage" and "Artist's Stone," has been treasured for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians called carnelian the "setting sun" and wore it for courage and protection. Warriors carried carnelian into battle for bravery, while artists used it to ignite creative fire. The vibrant orange-red color connects to the sacral and solar plexus chakras, awakening creativity and personal power. This carnelian necklace brings powerful metaphysical properties:
- Courage & Confidence: Ignites inner courage and gives you the confidence to take bold action and speak your truth
- Creative Fire: Awakens your creative energy and helps you express yourself authentically and passionately
- Grounded Vitality: Energizes your body and spirit while keeping you grounded and connected to the earth
- Sacral & Solar Plexus Chakra Activation: Awakens creativity and passion while strengthening personal power and confidence
- Motivation & Action: Fuels your inner fire and motivates you to pursue your goals with determination
- Emotional Balance: Releases fear and self-doubt, replacing them with warmth, confidence, and joy
- Protection: Creates a protective shield around your energy, especially during creative work
When to Wear Your Talisman
Wear this carnelian necklace during creative work that requires courage and bold expression, when you need confidence to take action on your goals, or anytime you want to ignite your creative fire and vitality.

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.

- 20–22 inches – a classic mid-chest length

Chain styles may include cable, rolo, or oxidized link, chosen to complement each pendant’s design.
Leather Option
Select designs feature a soft, durable leather cord, fully adjustable from 12 to 24 inches.
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.
