What is carnelian jewellery?
Carnelian is a red stone, and in Arabic it is called العقيق الأحمر. In our Hives and Hearts collection it is cut into a small heart and set in 18K rose gold, which warms the red. The Heart Carnelian Necklace has a 0.12 ct carnelian heart, one round diamond of 0.03 ct (VS clarity, G-H colour) and 2.20 g of gold. The bracelet uses the same heart and diamond on a finer chain, with 1.50 g of gold.

Let the red heart be the only colour, and keep everything around it in plain gold. The necklace and bracelet make a set for AED 7,000, and adding the earrings brings it to AED 9,900. On the neck, the small heart layers well under a longer plain chain; our necklace layering guide shows how. On the wrist, pair the bracelet with one plain gold piece, as in our bracelet stacking guide.
