The deeper story

Stone Story

Carnelian is an orange-to-red chalcedony whose color is produced by iron oxide within its microcrystalline silica structure. Its color ranges from pale amber-orange to deep burnt red depending on iron concentration.

Industry Insight

Cable, curb, rope, box: these are the standard formats. Anything whose link design departs from them falls under the fancy chain designation. It's a category defined by departure from the norm, where the link pattern gives the chain its own named or proprietary character. The term has held that meaning for as long as the category has existed.

Visually Speaking

The most consistently recurring design signatures of Retro-period jewelry include bows, ribbons, floral sprays, scrolls, and gas pipe link chains, a vocabulary that drew simultaneously from wartime optimism and the Hollywood visual culture of the 1930s and 1940s, producing a design language that is specific to the period.
