Lot of 4 10x8 mm flat oval beads in natural lepidolite

Four flat oval lepidolite stones, enough to make a pair of earrings or accent a bracelet. The stone's lilac color is speckled with fine mica flakes that catch the light.

Characteristics:

  • Stone: natural lepidolite
  • Shape: flat oval
  • Size: approximately 10-10,5 x 8-8,5 mm
  • Thickness: approximately 4,5-5,5 mm
  • Hole: approximately 1,2 mm
  • Quantity: 4 beads
  • Color: lilac to pinkish violet, sparkling highlights
  • Treatment: none

The set lets you create a small piece without using a full strand: two beads per earring, or a few oval spacers on a bracelet. The hole of about 1,2 mm fits elastic thread or a thin cord. For a longer creation, the same bead is offered in a strand of about 40 beads.

A bit of gemology: lepidolite belongs to the mica group, like muscovite and biotite. It forms in pegmatites, these coarse-crystal rocks where lithium, cesium, or rubidium are concentrated. Its color, from pink to violet, is due to manganese. Its density is around 2,8 and its hardness does not exceed 4 on the Mohs scale: it is best stored separately to avoid scratches.

In lithotherapy: it is often associated with the crown chakra. It is said to be a stone of calm, ideal for moments of pause.

100% natural product: size, shape, and color may vary slightly from one bead to another. Dimensions are given for information only.

Guide to good practices for caring for your jewelry

Guide to good practices for caring for your jewelry

Few objects are imperishable and last over time. Your jewelry, regardless of price or composition, will live with you and thus show signs of aging. This is perfectly normal and does not call the quality into question.

Here are some tips to keep them in the best condition for as long as possible.

  • Remove your jewelry before washing, bathing, and during beauty routines (cream, perfume...). This will help preserve the gold plating in good condition and not damage the Gemstones. Rest assured, the Prémium Perles Corner metals are of very good quality and will survive occasional exposure to water.
  • Avoid chemical products. Contrary to what one might think, doing the dishes, swimming in chlorinated water... does not go well with metals and stones.
  • Be sure to store your jewelry properly. When you are not wearing them, we recommend storing your jewelry in a case, a suede pouch, a zip bag, and especially not in a humid room like the bathroom.
  • Clean your jewelry with soapy water. Avoid chemical products or toothpaste, which could be too harsh for metals and stones. Regular maintenance, once a month, is sufficient. Be sure to dry them well afterward.

In conclusion, your jewelry, like all things, are objects that need attention and respect so you can enjoy them for as long as possible. With these few tips, they should accompany you for years!
