Charoite necklaces
Found only near the Chara River in Siberia, this swirling purple stone is cut into cabochons and beads. Folklore ties it to transformation and inner peace. Here is how it works in necklaces specifically.
Choosing a Charoite necklace
Necklaces sit protected against the body, so even softer stones work well. For color, look for an even purple tone, and match the metal to your skin tone and budget.
Best metals and settings
Charoite pairs well with sterling silver, white gold. An open setting lets more light into the stone. Compare options in our metal guides.
