Expertly mounted in a simple 14k yellow gold bezel—custom made within the last 30 years—each pendant is a one-of-a-kind celebration of individuality and antique artistry. The natural carnelian ranges from vibrant, translucent orange to deep burnt hues, with unique inclusions testifying to its natural origin and age, yet uncompromised in integrity.
