About this Carnelian bracelet
The ancient Egyptians traditionally buried carnelian alongside pharaohs, referring to the fiery orange chalcedony as the setting sun. This long-standing historical reverence stems from its traditional association with courage, endurance, and the life force itself. When worn close to the skin, carnelian is traditionally believed to stimulate the lower chakras, rekindling a sense of inner vitality and dispersing the stagnant energy that often leads to procrastination or lethargy.
This piece has become a staple for creative agency directors in Grand Baie seeking sustained inspiration and early morning runners preparing for the trail at Le Morne. Each bracelet is meticulously assembled on heavy-duty stretch elastic in our Pointe aux Sables atelier, ensuring it remains comfortable during active pursuits. The warm, translucent tones provide a subtle yet constant reminder of your own inherent strength and momentum.
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.
