Beads carved into unique shapes or with intricate designs have extra visual interest. They also require additional skill to produce. In addition to the technical skill and patience, a stone carver needs to understand the unique behavior of the stone being carved. Softer stones are poor candidates for carved pieces. Not only are they a higher risk for breakage during the carving process, but but there’s less opportunity to create detailed designs. _________________________________________________________ Some of our most popular carved pendants are Green Aventurine. Green Aventurine honors the Eastern tradition of carved Jade without bringing along the high price point. It’s also a little bit harder and consequently more durable. ![]() Erin, Dakota Stones (above left, carved lapis child pose pendant) |
