Carnelian Leaf & Hematite Necklace in 18ct Solid Yellow Gold – One of a Kind

An 18 karat solid yellow gold necklace hand assembled in Cornwall, designed as a one-of-a-kind composition of ancient materials and contemporary craftsmanship. At its centre sits a hand-carved carnelian leaf, shaped to reveal soft internal movement and natural tonal variation, shifting between warm burnt orange and deep rust in the light. Carnelian has been worn since antiquity across Egyptian, Roman, and Renaissance cultures, carrying associations of vitality, courage, and creative energy.

The pendant is paired with a strand of deep hematite beads, introducing a cool metallic counterbalance that grounds the warmth of the stone. The entire piece is finished in solid 18 karat yellow gold — including chain and fittings — giving it substance, integrity, and a quiet, refined luxury.
