Iolite Ear Cuff [March Birthstone]

This ear cuff features iolite, the birthstone for March, newly added to our collection in 2021, set in a bezel. Imagine wearing a ring with a single, beautiful stone! To enhance the stone's presence, we've finished it with a wire brush for a natural radiance. Iolite's Japanese name is 菫青石 (Kinseki), meaning "violet blue stone," and it possesses a clear, violet hue, much like a violet flower. One of its most notable characteristics is "pleochroism," meaning its color subtly shifts depending on your viewing angle and how light hits it. The sensation of the color changing, in addition to the sparkling reflection of light, is quite enchanting and ensures it will never feel tiresome. There are legends that in ancient times, "Vikings used it as a compass" and "as a talisman for voyages." Perhaps due to this, it is symbolically associated with "finding your own path without hesitation and guiding you to achieve your dreams and wishes." It is also said to possess healing properties that clear and purify the mind of any accumulated stagnation. A cat is affectionately holding this meaningful stone, so we hope it can become your daily companion as a charm to achieve your dreams and goals, or as a soothing presence for your weary heart. While it's a piece designed for effortless everyday wear, its clear violet color adds a touch of adult sophistication, beautifully adorning your ears. It also makes a wonderful gift for someone special! Item: Ear Cuff Metal: Silver 925 Stone: Iolite (4mm diameter) Size: Inner diameter approx. 11mm, wire width approx. 1.9mm
