This listing is for a custom Carnelian ring, handcrafted just for you.
To place an order, simply select your favourite piece of Carnelian and your ring size from the drop-down menus. I’ll then use the details from your purchase to create your very own made-to-order ring. Like all my work, each piece is individually handcrafted using recycled silver, cruelty-free materials, ethically sourced gemstones, and environmentally conscious methods.

💎 CARNELIAN LORE:
Carnelian has been treasured since ancient times for its rich, fiery hues and energetic warmth. Beloved by the ancient Egyptians, it was worn by warriors for courage and vitality and placed in tombs as a symbol of life after death. The Romans used it in signet rings, while in the Middle Ages it was believed to protect the wearer from illness and misfortune.
Known as a stone of creativity, confidence, and motivation, Carnelian is said to ignite passion and bring a sense of bold purpose to its wearer. It's a wonderful companion for artists, performers, and those stepping into new chapters. The Carnelian I use comes from the Artigas region of Uruguay, an area known for producing some of the world’s most vividly coloured and high-quality stones, formed over millennia in the basalt-rich earth.
