Beauty created by the unexpected.
Lyra is a modern piece with an ancient soul. Inspired by the spiral forms of ammonite fossils, its sculptural silver lines and delicate wirework evoke the graceful curves of a harp and the gentle tension of its strings, creating a sense of music in motion.
Here it is set with Carnelian, a vibrant, energising stone associated with motivation, confidence and creativity. It is believed to boost courage and inspire action, helping to overcome self-doubt and hesitation when pursuing new goals. Carnelian is also connected with passion, communication and self-expression, encouraging vitality, enthusiasm and a positive mindset.
Pendant only — chain sold separately. Add a sterling silver chain or leather cord from the options above, or buy the pendant on its own.
Gemstone Properties

How it is made
Lyra is handcrafted in 925 sterling silver. A forged silver surround embraces approximately half of the stone in an asymmetrical formation. Sterling silver wire is woven around the stone and threaded through tiny holes drilled through the silver spine, and the flowing spiral details are soldered in place.
The story of Lyra
Lyra was our first original design. We meant to suspend the stone from both sides with chain, but while we were making it one side broke away and revealed a completely different sense of movement. We loved the new direction even more, and Lyra was born.
Styling
Carnelian's warm orange and red-orange tones bring energy and richness to an outfit. Pair it with cream, ivory, beige, camel and warm brown for an earthy, effortless look, or create a bolder combination with burgundy, rust, deep red and chocolate. It works beautifully with denim, linen, suede, leather and flowing natural fabrics, making it ideal for relaxed bohemian styling.
