Carnelian
Meaning & Jewellery.

Choosing Carnelian jewellery

Choose a piece for its colour, pattern, fit or personal significance. Bead photographs are examples; individual stones and finished designs can vary. The product description gives the details of each available piece.

Traditional meanings

In crystal traditions, Carnelian is associated with confidence. Meanings vary between traditions and can be a personal way of choosing a gift or marking an intention.

These associations describe beliefs and symbolism, rather than established medical effects. Jewellery does not treat health conditions.

Before choosing your beads

Trade names do not always identify a single mineral, and some beads are treated or made from imitation materials. Read the guide to natural, dyed and imitation gemstones, and ask Shirley about the materials in a particular design.

Caring for a finished piece

Store your jewellery separately to reduce scratches, and avoid pulling or overstretching the cord. Ask for care instructions for the whole piece, including any dyed beads, spacers and findings, before using water or cleaning products.

Make the design personal

The custom crystal bracelet builder lets you choose a size and stone mix, or select a personal intention. You can also explore a custom 108-bead mala necklace.
