Description
These carnelian arrowhead earrings feature genuine carnelian arrowheads in warm orange-red, each one naturally formed with a smooth, waxy surface, as copper grows around each stone completely. A bold, grounding pair for everyday wear or anyone who wants their jewelry to carry a little fire.
Carnelian is associated with courage, creativity, and motivation. Sacral and solar plexus chakra. Wear it when you need to feel energized and focused.
Why Carnelian
Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, colored by iron oxide into its characteristic orange-red. Long associated with courage and action — ancient Egyptians called it the “setting sun” and wore it for protection and strength. Chosen for its warm, fiery color, its smooth arrowhead form, and its grounding quality. Sacral and solar plexus chakra. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How These Handmade Gemstone Earrings Are Made
Each pair of carnelian arrowhead earrings is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select and match every arrowhead for its form and warm color, then encase each one in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade gemstone earring pair from this studio is one of a kind.
A Note on Stone Matching
Because these are natural stones, each pair is matched by hand for size and shape. Slight variation between the two arrowheads is part of what makes them handmade and real.
Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Polish with a soft cloth to maintain shine or let the patina deepen naturally. Carnelian is durable (6.5–7 Mohs) — treat gently to avoid hard impacts on the arrowhead edges. Sterling silver ear wires are included; if you have a metal sensitivity, niobium ear wires are available on request.
