Ivory Creek Variscite comes from Kazakhstan—a rare, quietly beautiful cousin to turquoise, creamy with dramatic black matrix running through it like ink. It’s not common, which is exactly why I’m drawn to it. This one has a slight blush to the cream, and is set in sterling silver patinated to a rich blue-black, with 22k gold rivets and a flexible 22k gold circle bail that pairs with many types of chain. In metaphysical circles, Variscite is the stone of authentic self—encouragement, heart-opening, seeing clearly —and honestly, wearing it, you’ll feel its special earthiness. Some stones find you at exactly the right moment.
