Description
An arrowhead on a hoop. Grounded and a little wild. Each carnelian arrowhead is electroformed in copper, the metal growing directly around the raw knapped stone edge, then suspended from a hand-hammered sterling silver hoop with a textured surface that catches the light differently at every angle. The sterling silver ear wire has a small copper bead at the base, tying the two metals together. These wear easily, move well, and make a statement without trying too hard. Made to order.
Carnelian is associated with courage, vitality, and creative fire. A sacral chakra stone. Wear it when you need to feel energized and purposeful.
Why Carnelian
Carnelian is a variety of chalcedony, a microcrystalline quartz, colored by iron oxide inclusions ranging from pale orange to deep red-brown. The banded variety shows natural white and orange layering formed as silica-rich fluids deposited in ancient rock cavities. Long associated with courage, action, and the sacral chakra (Svadhisthana). A traditional stone of warriors and leaders, and the birthstone of July. No mystical claims. Just a beautiful ancient material with a meaning that fits real life.

How These Handmade Carnelian Earrings Are Made
Each arrowhead is hand-selected for its color and character, then electroformed in copper, the metal growing directly around the raw stone edge through an electrical process. The sterling silver hoops are hand-hammered individually for texture. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every pair from this studio is one of a kind.
A Note on Stone Variation
Because these are natural knapped stones, each arrowhead varies in shape, color, and banding pattern. The pair you receive will be similar in character to those shown, chosen for its beauty and quality.
