Honey dahlia is one of the warmer members of the dahlia/turquoise-family stones we carry — amber-to-caramel tones instead of the blues and pinks the family’s better known for, which gives buyers a way to offer a cohesive ‘dahlia’ line alongsidePeacock Dahlia and Purple Rose Dahlia that still spans a full color range. The matrix patterning (darker veining through the lighter base) varies piece to piece, so no two cabochons read identically, which works in a boutique’s favor for a ‘one-of-a-kind’ pitch. Cut mainly as cabochons for rings and pendants, bezel-set for durability since it’s on the softer side. It’s a smaller-volume line, so we recommend sampling from the full gemstone catalog before committing to a large standing order.
