Carnelian is a stone made of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of silica. It gets its reddish-orange color from iron oxide.

I’ve been designing for 7 years now, and it feels like hearing my own creative voice has improved over time. What I said in the past with my work is what was needed at the time and has paved the way for the work that I’m creating now to come though.

Keep Listening to yourself, it gets easier with practice.

This Design is imbued with Self-Assuredness and Confidence, may every time you wear it you experience those feelings.
