I personally love carnelian since I first saw it in the wall panels inside the Taj Mahal. Its such a beautiful but someone mysterious stone and I love the fact that it glows when light is shined through it. My teacher, Joan, is a very elegant lady with still black hair and one striking streak of white at the front. I knew these would look fabulous on her. AND THEY DO!

I lived in New Delhi several years ago and had occasion to visit the Taj Mahal more than 8 times, taking visitors, etc. The building, of course, is magnificent and looks different depending on the time of day and amount of light. One of my favorite things about it were the gorgeous floral panels inside inlaid with semi-precious stones. Its very dim inside. The guides shine a flashlight on the inlaid stones. The carnelian glows like fire. Since that time, its been a favorite of mine. These earrings are beautiful and substantial. My husband is going to give them to me for Christmas, so I had to watch while he put them away. I tried them on, and didnt want to give them back, they are so nice. They look amazing on. I know I will get many compliments on them.
