Genuine Peridot and Carnelian gemstones necklace with 14k gold accents
In antiquity, Carnelian and Peridot were prized for both beauty and protective, magical properties.
Egyptians believed Carnelian was solar-linked so it was used in jewelry for protection, while Romans used it for wax seals (intaglio). Believed to ward of anger, hatred and envy - the Carnelian sun-stone was also commonly placed in tombs to help guide souls.
A perfect pairing with Peridot which also protects against nightmares and evil. Mined by Egyptians, Peridot was the "gem of the sun" later used in medieval European churches.
Strung with silk cord for a luxurious feel; this sparkling beaded necklace was finished with a solid 14k gold clasp and extension chain to allow for an adjustable fit. Certain to bring sunshine to those who wear it!

Care for Silk-Strung Beads:
Silk string adds a luxurious, flowing feel with beads and pearls, vs. wire cord. As with pearls, a rule of thumb is to put this piece on last when dressing (after lotion, perfume or oils applied) and taking off first before bathing. Keep dry and free from chemicals and store in the satin pouch provided for safe keeping.
Gently wipe with soft, clean cloth - polishing cloths have a chemical coating and are not recommended for natural stones or pearls.
