Description
The Extra-Long Comfortable Roxy Earrings with Rainbow Holo Hematites in gold are long earrings that shimmer with every turn of your head. Each earring consists of four rainbow hematites and a gold chain 11.5 cm long. The stones shine in purple, blue, green, gold and pink. The effect resembles petrol spilled on asphalt on a rainy day.
These are drop earrings that sway gently with every step. Despite their impressive length, they are very light and comfortable. They don't pull on the ear and can be worn all day, or even all night on the dance floor. Above all, they are original earrings for women who love sparkle, colour and boldness.
I make the earrings by hand in the Ametyst Studio workshop. In them, I combine 4 mm titanium-coated hematites with gold-plated 316L stainless steel. The steel is extremely resistant to wear, even when exposed to water, so the gold-plated earrings keep their shine for a long time. I personally check every pair before shipping.
The earrings have open hook fastenings. I also include rubber stoppers that keep the earrings from slipping out of your ears. They belong to the Roxy collection, which also includes a choker, a bracelet, a belly chain and a body chain with rainbow hematites.
Symbolism
For thousands of years, earrings have been among humanity's most important ornaments. They were worn as talismans, signs of status and adornments that enhanced beauty. In many cultures, people believed they protected against evil spirits that could enter the body through the ears. Rainbow earrings combine this ancient symbolism of protection with the joy and sparkle of the rainbow.
The rainbow appears in the sky after a storm, when the sun breaks through the raindrops. That is why it has always symbolised hope, renewal and the promise of better days. The Greeks believed that the goddess Iris, messenger of the gods, descended to earth on the rainbow. Colourful earrings remind you that after every storm the sun will shine again.
Where does the Polish word “kolczyk” come from?
The Polish word for earring, “kolczyk”, comes from “kolec”, meaning “spike” or “thorn”. Both share a root with the verb “kłuć”, meaning “to pierce”. An earring is therefore literally a little spike that pierces the ear. The name reminds us that our ancestors pierced their ears to wear ornaments.
The word “bigiel”, the Polish name for an ear wire, also has an interesting history. It comes from the German “Bügel”, meaning a curved bow or handle. Open hook earrings have exactly such a curved wire that slides into the ear. It is one of the most comfortable and popular fastenings in jewellery.
Earrings in history
The oldest earrings have been found in graves more than four thousand years old. The Sumerians of Ur wore gold crescent-shaped earrings. In ancient Egypt, both women and men wore earrings. Even the pharaoh Tutankhamun had pierced ears, as can be seen on his famous funerary mask.
In ancient Rome, long pearl earrings were a sign of wealth. In the Renaissance and Baroque eras, ladies wore earrings with drops of pearls and gemstones. Vermeer's famous painting “Girl with a Pearl Earring” shows how beautifully an earring frames the face. Today, drop earrings with stones are once again one of the most fashionable accessories.
Where does the name Roxy come from?
Roxy is a diminutive of Roxanne. It derives from an Old Persian name meaning “bright”, “luminous” or “little star”. Roxana was the name of Alexander the Great's wife, famed for her extraordinary beauty. The Roxy earrings are therefore ornaments with the glow of the stars.
Hematite – the stone of strength and courage
The name hematite comes from the Greek word “haima”, meaning “blood”. Although the stone has a metallic lustre, it produces a reddish-brown powder when ground. In ancient Rome, hematite was the stone of Mars, the god of war. Soldiers believed it protected them in battle and gave them courage.
In the Roxy earrings, hematite takes on a new face. Thanks to titanium coating, it shimmers in every colour of the rainbow. It combines the ancient strength of warriors with the joyful energy of the festival stage. Hematite earrings are a talisman for women who want to feel strong and beautiful at the same time.
Petrol stones – beauty in the ordinary
“Petrol stones” is a colloquial name for stones that shimmer like a patch of petrol on water. The effect is enchanting because it appears where we least expect it. An ordinary wet street suddenly turns into a small work of art. Petrol stone earrings remind you to notice beauty even on a grey, rainy day.
Properties
Hematite is a stone that has been attributed with many valuable properties for centuries. According to tradition, hematite earrings:
- add courage, strength and confidence;
- help you stay calm and clear-headed;
- ground you and give a sense of stability;
- protect against negative energy and the influence of others;
- add energy and the desire to have fun;
- support focus during important conversations;
- help you feel comfortable in your own skin;
- remind you to enjoy life in all its colours.
Rainbow earrings can become your personal talisman. Just put them on with an intention, and you will feel their energy.
Earrings close to the head
Earrings are worn close to the head, the centre of thoughts and decisions. Stones in the ears were believed to influence the way we think and perceive the world. Hematite is said to help order your thoughts and free you from a flood of worries. That is why it is worth wearing when you need calm and focus.
Long earrings also reach the neck area, the throat chakra. In yoga tradition, it governs communication and self-expression. Hematite adds courage in speaking about your needs. The Roxy earrings are therefore support for every woman who wants to speak loudly and confidently.
The rainbow and the seven chakras
The seven colours of the rainbow are often linked with the seven main chakras. Red is the root chakra and violet the crown chakra. The rainbow hematites therefore symbolically embrace all the chakras at once. It is a beautiful union of hematite's strength and the rainbow's harmony.

Gold earrings with rainbow stones suit women of all ages. Younger women wear them to festivals, while mature women wear them as an elegant accent to an evening outfit.
Festival earrings
The Roxy earrings were created with festivals in mind. Under spotlights and the setting sun, the rainbow hematites flash in every colour. The long chain sways beautifully while you dance. They are festival earrings no one will miss.
Festival outfits love boldness, colour and sparkle. Glitter, sequins, cowboy boots and colourful hair are their trademarks. Colourful drop earrings with stones fit perfectly into this aesthetic. Festival jewellery doesn't have to be heavy, and the Roxy earrings are the best proof.
Earrings for banquets and parties
At a banquet, extra-long earrings replace a necklace and add elegance to your look. They look beautiful with a strapless gown, a boat neckline or an updo. The gold chain and rainbow stones will shine in candlelight. They are elegant earrings that suit even the most formal occasions.
At a party, the Roxy earrings turn a simple outfit into a striking look. A little black dress, a satin top or a blazer is all you need. The rainbow stones will draw attention to your face. They are party earrings in which you will feel like a star.
Earrings for her
Looking for a gift for your sister, friend, daughter or partner? Earrings for her with rainbow hematites are a choice that will surely bring a smile. They are joyful, original and handmade. Such a gift says that you put your heart into choosing it.
Best for the zodiac signs
The Roxy earrings suit every zodiac sign. A few signs, however, especially appreciate their sparkle and energy.
Libra is ruled by Venus and loves beauty, harmony and elegance. Symmetrical long earrings will perfectly highlight her grace. The rainbow colours will delight her artistic soul.
Leo loves the stage, gold and being the centre of attention. Gold earrings with colourful stones are its dream ornament. At every party, they will make Leo shine like a star.
Aquarius values originality, freedom and unexpected solutions. Rainbow earrings perfectly reflect its unique style. Hematite, in turn, helps it stay balanced and focused.
Aries is the sign most often associated with hematite. Aries is full of energy, courage and enthusiasm. Hematite earrings will give it even more strength to act.
Gemini love conversation, fun and a colourful world. Stones that look different every time will never bore them. Swaying earrings suit their light, sociable nature.
Aesthetic qualities
The Roxy earrings charm with colour, length and lightness. Four rainbow hematites shimmer in purple, blue, green, gold and pink. The 11.5 cm gold chain flows gently along the neck. The whole looks sensual, joyful and very striking.
The gold-plated steel beautifully balances the cool shades of the rainbow stones. The warm gold brightens the skin and looks good on both fair and tanned complexions. Gold earrings with stones suit every complexion and every hair colour.
Earrings that elongate the neck
Long earrings create a vertical line that visually lengthens the neck. As a result, the whole silhouette looks slimmer and more upright. It is a simple way to add elegance without changing your outfit. Neck-elongating earrings also look beautiful with a round face.
Earrings for short hair
Extra-long earrings are perfect for short hair. A pixie cut, a bob or a crop reveals the ears and neck. Then the earrings become the main ornament of the whole look. With longer hair, it is worth putting it up or tucking it behind your ear so the stones are clearly visible.
Shoulder-grazing earrings
Very long earrings are sometimes called “shoulder dusters” in fashion. The English term literally means earrings that brush the shoulders. Their golden era was the 1980s, when bold, sparkling accessories reigned. Today they are back in a lighter, more subtle form.
The Roxy earrings follow this trend without overwhelming the face. The thin chain and small stones make them light and airy. Drop earrings with stones move freely and catch the light beautifully. It is a combination of striking length and a delicate character.
Chain drop earrings have another advantage. Their movement draws the eye to the face and adds expression to conversation. That is why women who perform, lead meetings or simply like to be noticed love wearing them.
Light and comfortable earrings
Despite their length, the Roxy earrings are exceptionally light. The hematites are only 4 mm in diameter, and the chain is thin and delicate. As a result, the earrings don't weigh down the ears even when worn all day. They are comfortable earrings you can easily forget you are wearing.
Where does the rainbow colour come from?
Natural hematite is dark grey with a metallic lustre. The rainbow effect comes from coating the stone with a very thin layer of titanium oxide. Such stones are called titanium-coated. Light reflects off the titanium layer and off the surface of the stone, and the waves overlap.
This phenomenon is called thin-film interference. It is exactly how the colours in soap bubbles and petrol patches on wet asphalt arise. Every turn of the head changes the angle of the light, so the earrings shimmer constantly.
Handmade earrings
I make the Roxy earrings by hand in my studio. I carefully select each hematite and connect it to the chain, checking every join closely. As a result, the earrings are durable and hang beautifully. The stones are natural, so every pair is slightly different.
Best paired with
The fullest effect comes from pairing the earrings with other pieces from the Roxy collection. I recommend the Roxy choker, which wraps the neck in rainbow sparkle. Add the Roxy bracelet to bring rainbow stones to your wrist too. Such a set creates a cohesive festival look.
For a festival or the beach, pair the earrings with body jewellery. The Roxy body chain, with its choker and strand of stones along the breastbone, will turn you into a rainbow fairy. The Roxy 2-in-1 belly chain and necklace will add sparkle to your waist and hips. The earrings will complete the look and highlight your face.
If you prefer subtler combinations, wear the earrings with delicate gold Ametyst Studio rings. A plain band or the Golden Drop ring won't compete with the rainbow stones. Extra-long earrings are so striking that they often don't need a necklace.
When it comes to clothes, the Roxy earrings love a bare neck and shoulders. They look best with strappy tops, boat-neck blouses, polo necks and strapless dresses. For festival outfits, add mesh tops, denim shorts and glitter on your cheeks.
How to care for it?
Gold-plated 316L stainless steel is very resistant to wear, even when exposed to water. Hematites, however, like a little care. The earrings will keep their rainbow shine longer if you remember a few rules:
- put the earrings on after applying cosmetics, hairspray and perfume;
- take them off before bathing, swimming and sleep;
- protect the hematites from falls and knocks, as they are brittle;
- don't clean them with abrasive products, which can scratch the rainbow coating;
- after wearing, wipe the stones with a soft, dry cloth;
- store the earrings laid out in a box so the chains don't tangle;
- always use the rubber stoppers so the earrings don't slip out of your ears.
It is worth wiping the ear wires from time to time with a cotton pad soaked in disinfectant. This simple step takes care of ear hygiene. Just make sure the liquid doesn't get on the stones.
Energy cleansing
After big events, the earrings may absorb the energy of the crowd. That is why it is worth cleansing them energetically from time to time. You can do it with sage smoke or by leaving them overnight on an amethyst cluster. Hematite also charges well in moonlight.

What is hematite?
Hematite is a mineral made of iron oxide. It is one of the most important iron ores in the world. It has a metallic lustre and occurs in Brazil, Australia and China, among other places. Interestingly, it has also been found on Mars, the planet named after the god of war.
Hypoallergenic stainless steel earrings
316L stainless steel is the same type of steel used in medicine and in jewellery for first ear piercings. It is very strong and contains no nickel, a common allergen. That is why people with sensitive ears also tolerate steel earrings well. It is undoubtedly a sensible choice for jewellery in direct contact with a piercing.
How to put on open hook earrings?
Open hook earrings are very easy to put on. Simply slide the curved wire into the piercing from the front of the ear. Then fit the rubber stopper onto the end of the wire at the back of the ear. This way, the earring will stay securely in place even while dancing.
