Iolite

Iolite


I love iolite.  It is such and underrated stone.  It is more violet than sapphire and far more affordable.  Iolite is a hard gemstone so it can be appropriate for rings.   I made this 18 karat gold necklace for myself after finding an exceptional example of this gemstone.  This pendant is all about the gemstone- no added fuss, with the exception of the small diamond at the top.  Am wearing this today!
