When I found this cabochon rhodolite garnet, there was something almost hypnotically soothing about the feel of it, which meant it had to become a piece of jewelry you could run your fingertips over it without being conscious of doing so.
Linguists say that the exclamation mark comes from a Latin exclamation of joy, "io". Antiquarian writers would write io at the end of sentences to show happiness and over time, they made a series of changes to it, such as placing the "I" above the "O" and making the "O" smaller and smaller until it turned into a dot. Io became the exclamation mark.
Bright red spinel and rich gold granulation give the long pointed "I", the bean shaped rhodolite garnet makes a supremely touchable "o". The chain is available separately.
One-of-a-kind.
