Iolite is a stunning gemstone that is often overlooked in favor of more well-known stones like diamonds and sapphires. But with its unique color and excellent clarity, iolite jewelry is a great choice for those who want something a little different. In this blog, we'll explore iolite jewelry and why it makes such a great choice for anyone born in September, or for anyone who simply loves the stone.
What is Iolite?
Iolite is a gemstone that is primarily found in Sri Lanka, but can also be found in other parts of the world, including India, Madagascar, and Tanzania. It is a mineral that is part of the cordierite group, which is a group of minerals that are composed of magnesium, iron, and aluminum. The name "iolite" comes from the Greek word for violet, which refers to the gemstone's color.
Iolite Jewelry
Iolite jewelry can come in many different forms, including rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Iolite necklaces are especially popular, as they showcase the gemstone's unique color and clarity. What's so great about this gemstone is that it looks beautiful paired with other stones, to create a stunning and eye-catching piece of jewelry. Our newest iolite design features this Iolite Necklace in a chandelier design. Ten tiny iolite teardrops are wire wrapped onto a fine 14k gold filled or sterling silver cable chain, which makes for a stunning statement look. It's enough to wear on its own, or works beautifully as a layering piece with other gold necklaces, diamonds, pearls, or any other neutral gemstones.
