About this Carnelian bracelet
Carnelian was a highly prized stone in antiquity, widely used by the Minoans, Greeks, and Romans to carve signet rings for sealing crucial documents. The ancient Egyptians traditionally called it the setting sun, burying it with pharaohs to ensure courage in the afterlife. In traditional energetic practices, carnelian is strongly linked to the sacral and root chakras. It is historically believed to dispel timidity and self-doubt, replacing hesitation with a grounded, outward-facing confidence that encourages decisive action and authentic self-expression.
We regularly craft this striking orange piece for teachers presenting to new school boards in Moka and sales professionals preparing for high-stakes client negotiations in the Cybercity. Carefully strung on durable stretch elastic at our Pointe aux Sables atelier, the bracelet offers a seamless fit for long working days. The vivid, warm tones of the stone serve as a constant visual and tactile cue to speak clearly, hold your ground, and carry yourself with quiet authority.
History
Carnelian was a highly prized stone in antiquity, widely used by the Minoans, Greeks, and Romans to carve signet rings for sealing crucial documents, as hot wax does not stick to the stone. The ancient Egyptians traditionally called it the setting sun, burying it with pharaohs to provide courage in the afterlife. The name likely stems from the Latin word 'caro', meaning flesh, referencing its warm colouration.
