Vesuvianite necklaces

First described from Mount Vesuvius, this gem ranges from olive green to golden brown. In tradition it is linked to courage and clearing away negativity. Here is how it works in necklaces specifically.

Choosing a Vesuvianite necklace

Necklaces sit protected against the body, so even softer stones work well. For color, look for an even green tone, and match the metal to your skin tone and budget.

Best metals and settings

Vesuvianite pairs well with yellow gold, white gold, sterling silver. An open setting lets more light into the stone. Compare options in our metal guides.
