The deep indigo stones of Sierra Midnight echo the twilight skies that settled over the Sierra Nevada trails — where travelers paused to rest as the last embers of day sank behind the peaks. In the 1870s, iolite and sapphire-hued gems were carried west by merchants who believed their shifting tones could guide lost souls under starlight. Each asymmetrical facet tells of rugged terrain and quiet endurance, framed in gold like the glow of lanterns against a dark horizon. This necklace embodies the silent beauty of the frontier night — mysterious, resilient, and untamed.
