Red Carnelian Ring

.925 sterling silver

Size 7

Carnelian is a semi-precious gemstone, a variety of chalcedony, known for its vibrant red, orange, and brownish hues. It has been used in jewelry and ornamentation since ancient times, often associated with courage, vitality, and protection. Its smooth, translucent quality makes it ideal for cabochon cuts, enhancing its natural color and luster.

Sterling silver, denoted by the '.925' stamp, is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This alloy is favored for jewelry due to its durability and resistance to tarnishing compared to pure silver, while still retaining a bright, lustrous appearance. The combination of carnelian and sterling silver is a classic pairing in jewelry making, offering both aesthetic appeal and affordability.
