Earrings with Fluorite - Gold-plated brass - OCTA TERRA

Fluorite – a stone of colorful clarity and harmony 🌈

Fluorite from India is a stone of lightness, order, and inner clarity. In the OCTA TERRA collection, it is given a form that does not divide it: one whole stone, hand-cut into an octagon, with no resin-set chips and no tensor ring. The octagon is the spiritual eight – a sign of infinity, continuity, and endless flow.

🌍 Origin and nature of the stone

• Country of origin: India
• Mineral group: Calcium fluoride
• Hardness: 4 on the Mohs scale

Fluorite, known as the "rainbow stone," comes in many shades – from green and blue to purple, pink, and gold. Mined in India, at the foot of the Himalayas, it delights with its natural play of colors and transparent depth. Since ancient times, it has symbolized clarity of thought, harmony, and emotional balance. It is considered a stone that helps organize internal chaos and find peace in the diversity of life.

💎 VEL LEES handcrafted geometry – the OCTA TERRA octagon

In OCTA TERRA, the stone is not an insert in a frame. It is a whole: one piece, eight faces, one axis. The eight facets refract light at eight angles, so the earring sparkles with every turn of the head instead of shining evenly.

• Cut: octagon, one whole stone
• Stone size: 8 × 8 mm (± 0.4 mm – hand-cut stone)
• Bezel cup: 9.5 × 9.5 mm, height 2.3 mm
• Fastening: stud post with a butterfly back (push back)
• Setting material: gold-plated brass
• Protective coating: Infinity 8 Protect
• Weight: approx. 2.0 g (pair with stones; settings alone 1.25 g)
• Octagon (8): symbol of continuity, wholeness, and harmony of flow

The octagon sits between the square and the circle: the square stands for the four directions and the earth, while the circle has no beginning and no end. That is why, for centuries, octagons were used to build thresholds between the one and the other – the Baptistery of St. John in Florence and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem are both octagonal. Here, you wear that same threshold close to your face.

The gold plating is sealed with Infinity 8 Protect – an additional electroplated layer that slows down wear in everyday use.

✨ Symbolism of the OCTA TERRA collection

OCTA TERRA rests on a single principle: one natural stone, cut into an octagon, in a brass setting. Seventeen stones to choose from, earrings and pendants, and the setting in two finishes: gold plating in a gold tone and palladium plating in a silver tone. This piece is gold-plated.

The eight in the name stands for eight sides that close into a circle – a form with no beginning and no end. The spiritual 8 speaks of continuity: intention does not work in bursts, it keeps coming back.

Every piece turns out different. A natural stone has its own shade, pattern, and inclusions, and with hand-cutting the size may vary by half a millimeter. For the same reason, the weight may differ by a few hundredths of a gram. The photos show the pattern and color; your stone will turn out a little different.

📌 Summary

Earrings with fluorite from the OCTA TERRA collection are two whole stones, 8 × 8 mm, cut into octagons and set in gold-plated brass. An amulet of harmony, lightness, and clarity – for creative people and those seeking inner balance.
