This is my grandmother ring I'm wearing. Carnelian is such a warm stone as seen below and the ring has a deco look to it. Below is some folklore and below that I pasted some other deco rings that have carnelian.
A little about the Carnelian beliefs folklore:
This gemstone is believed to cleanse the blood and also improves ones outlook. It has been believed for a long time that the carnelian gemstone stops bleeding and helps heals wounds. The Egyptians believed that the carnelian gem stone had special powers in afterlife. They also believed that carnelian amulets would help the passage of the soul into the next world. This is the reason why numerous types of carnelian jewelry have been found in the ancient Egyptian tombs. In Europe carnelian jewelry was worn with the belief that, it would provide protection against evil and also ensure continuation of hope, good luck and comforts. This was strongly believed by the Greeks and Romans who used the carnelian gemstone in signet rings and cameos. The Asians in India and Tibet also believed in the special powers of carnelian gems and wore it as pendants, amulets and other carnelian jewelry.
And just because; here is a Patrick Nagel image very deco too bad she doesn't have ring on :)
