🔮 Iolite: Inner Vision 

🩵💙💚 Throat, Third Eye & Heart Chakras

A little dark, a little mystical and definitely not interested in behaving themselves. 💀💜

These wonderfully detailed earrings feature sterling silver skulls complete with their own tiny crowns, giving them that fabulous combination of gothic character and cheeky grandeur. Suspended beneath each skull is a faceted Iolite gemstone, adding movement and a beautiful flash of deep violet-blue.

Iolite is the gem variety of the mineral cordierite, a magnesium iron aluminium cyclosilicate with the formula (Mg,Fe)₂Al₄Si₅O₁₈. One of its most fascinating characteristics is its strong pleochroism. Depending on the direction from which the crystal is viewed, Iolite can display noticeably different colours, commonly moving between violet-blue, blue, grey and paler tones.

Historically, Iolite has an intriguing connection with navigation. Cordierite has been investigated in relation to the legendary Viking "sunstone", as its optical properties can assist in determining the direction of polarised light. While claims that Vikings definitely used Iolite specifically should be treated with caution, its connection with direction and navigation has certainly become part of its modern story.

Symbolically, that makes Iolite rather perfect for a crowned skull.

The skull represents mortality, transformation and the wisdom gained through experience, while the crown carries ideas of personal sovereignty and owning one's power. Iolite is traditionally associated with intuition, inner vision, direction and seeing beyond what initially appears obvious.

Together they have a rather fabulous message:

Know yourself. Trust your direction. Wear your crown. 👑💀💜

Set in sterling silver, these are beautifully unusual earrings for someone who prefers their jewellery with character, symbolism and just enough darkness to keep things interesting.

💍 Caring for Your 925 and 928 Silver Jewellery

Your sterling silver jewellery is a beautiful investment that deserves special care, especially when it features delicate crystals and gemstones. To maintain the luster and longevity of your 925 and 928 silver pendants, rings, earrings, and silver clasps, follow these simple care tips:

Prevent Tarnishing:
Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to elements such as salty air, chlorine, sulfur, humidity, perspiration, and certain chemicals. To keep your jewellery as tarnish-free as possible, we recommend removing it when:

✨ Showering, bathing, or swimming in pools, hot tubs, hot springs, or the ocean.
✨ Applying lotion, hair products, fragrances, or cosmetics.
✨ Exercising, especially when sweating during sports or at the gym.

Safe Cleaning for Silver and Stones:
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage the crystals and gemstones in your jewellery. Instead, gently restore the shine of your silver with a silver cleaning cloth designed for polishing. This method is safe for both the metal and the stones, keeping your jewellery looking beautiful without harming the delicate gems.

By following these simple steps, you’ll keep your silver jewellery and gemstones sparkling and safe for years to come.
