The discovery of Carnelian stone dates back thousands of years, with its origins in the Neolithic period in Bulgaria. Craftsmen used Carnelian to create beads, and it held a prominent position in the Bronze Age on the island of Crete. The Romans also recognized its significance and used it in the crafting of seals and rings, while other civilizations incorporated it into their art and religious practices.
Ancient Egyptians used Carnelian to ignite love and passion, and they referred to it as the “Sunset Stone” or “Stone of the Setting Sun,” associating it with fertility.
Carnelian is known as the stone of energy, endurance, courage, leadership, and motivation. It is worn to enhance love and passion.
Since the color red is feminine and attractive, we have chosen it for the bride this summer to adorn her enchanting look at the wedding or engagement ceremony. We explored renowned global brands to select the most beautiful jewelry pieces adorned with Carnelian for the elegant bride.
Bouton d'or Necklace by Van Cleef & Arpels
With its luxurious and feminine design that captivates hearts and eyes, we were drawn to the Bouton d'or necklace inspired by the curved lines of the paillette element. This jewelry design was created by Van Cleef & Arpels in the late 1930s and has been reinterpreted today with exquisite modern designs.
The Bouton d'or necklace is crafted from 18-carat rose gold, adorned with 30 white mother-of-pearl beads, 51 Carnelian stones, and 186 diamonds weighing 5.55 carats, creating a more luxurious look for the bride.
