Iolite Jewelry
We love iolite jewelry and iolite gemstones. Iolite is an unusual stone; because of pleochroism, the early Vikings used very thin pieces of iolite as a lens to determine planetary postitions and navigation.
The name iolite came from the Greek word "ios" which actually means violet. There are 3 colours in iolite, depending on the way that one looks at it (and making it very difficult for gem-cutters) - blue, violet, and yellow. It was also known as "water-sapphire" and high-quality iolite does resemble sapphire.

Oooo, la la! Currently, my favorite piece of iolite jewelry, this bracelet with its three strands of iolites of all shapes and sizes, really gets a punch from the single large faceted rose quartz rectangle. This gorgeous pink in the middle of the blue iolite improves both! The sterling silver toggle clasp has bezel set peacock pearls in the ends of the toggle bar.

Iolite Jewelry - Vermeil and Iolite Jewelry
Bangalore Singing
Iolite jewelry from the Raj Collection includes this iolite bracelet that also features emerald nuggets and small ruby rondelles - all genuine stones. Iolite is a fitting gemstone to go with emeralds and rubies since it was often called the "water-sapphire", and really, much of the iolite I've seen resembles more what I think of when I envision deep blue sapphires than the actual sapphire gemstone! Like many of the pieces of jewelry from the Raj Collection, this has vermeil accents and a vermeil toggle clasp closure. The bracelet has charms hanging at intervals from the bracelet - gemstone charms. A gorgeous artist's lampwork bead brings the colours of the bracelet together. And just for a bit of added interest, a 14 karat gold-filled chain links from the clasp to the middle of the bracelet. Can't you hear Bangalore singing?
