Carnelian Hand-Knotted Strand Necklace in Sterling Silver

There’s an undeniably sensuous allure to a hand-knotted strand of gemstones. Each bead moves with a liquid grace, the silk thread giving the necklace a supple drape that molds effortlessly against the skin. In the hand, they’re a joy to roll between your fingers, smooth and rhythmic with just the right weight. It’s a tactile pleasure—flexible, grounding, and endlessly satisfying. I adore layering these strands; they bring a lush, polished finish to any outfit, whether paired with other necklaces or worn alone as a statement of quiet luxury. Each one is knotted on silk thread chosen to complement the stones, a detail that makes the piece as refined as it feels.

This strand of carnelian glows in shades of rich tangerine orange, sparkling with a vibrancy that feels both bold and grounding. The facets catch the light with a playful fire, while the saturated color keeps the look warm and earthy. It’s a piece that carries a natural energy, lively yet composed, making it just as easy to wear for everyday grounding as for adding a touch of luminous color to a layered look.

Carnelian has long been cherished as a stone of courage, vitality, and passion. It is believed to awaken creativity and confidence, while keeping the wearer centered and steady. With its fiery hues and ancient reputation, it’s a stone that embodies both strength and warmth.
