Rose Quartz
Rose quartz jewelry in a soft, cloudy pink rather than a bright one, so these read quiet next to a colored stone. Rough and oval-cut rings, large raw studs, chunky huggie hoops, teardrop and chunky pendants on gold-filled paperclip chain, and a two-strand layered set.

What to expect from your Rose Quartz
Stones, metals, delivery windows, sizing and daily wear, gathered in one place.
How pink is raw rose quartz?
Soft and cloudy rather than bright. Some stones are barely tinted; others carry a deeper blush. Each one is hand-picked, so the piece you receive will have its own shade.
Is rose quartz a January birthstone?
Garnet is the traditional January stone. Rose quartz is the lighter pink alternative many people choose when deep red is not their color, and it sits in our January collection for that reason.
Will rose quartz fade?
Long stretches of direct sun can mute the pink over years. Keep it dry, store it out of the sun and away from harder stones, and it will stay the color it arrived.
A closer look at Rose Quartz
Rose quartz gets its color from trace minerals scattered through the crystal, which is why it looks milky instead of glassy and why the pink can vary from barely there to a deeper blush between one stone and the next. It is a quartz, so it wears well, though it scratches more easily than sapphire or ruby and prefers to be stored on its own. Our chains are 14k gold-filled (1/20) with a 24k dip, and the stones are set or drilled by hand in Atlanta. For layering, the teardrop pendant and the paperclip set were designed to sit at different lengths without tangling. For a gift, the large raw studs are the safest bet since there is no sizing to guess at. For anyone shopping a January birthday who finds garnet too dark, rose quartz is the lighter pink option people reach for instead.
What does rose quartz mean?
Rose quartz is the stone of love, and modern crystal lore has widened the idea well past romance. The stories told about it, Egyptian beauty rituals, a retelling of the Aphrodite and Adonis myth in which the stone is stained pink, are modern lore rather than documented history, but the use is real: practitioners work with rose quartz for self-kindness, compassion, forgiveness and hard seasons, which is why so many people now buy it for themselves rather than as a gift. It is the heart-chakra stone. Taurus and Libra are its signs.
How do people work with rose quartz?
Rose quartz is charged in moonlight and used in some of the gentlest rituals there are: a loose tumbled stone by the bath, a ring worn through a hard month, a pendant held over the heart while you say the kind thing you would say to a friend, to yourself. For a set piece, we suggest moonlight, sound or a soft dry cloth for cleansing and charging. Water, salt and soil are hard on the setting and the plating, and the stone does not need them.
How has rose quartz been used through history?
Rose quartz beads turn up in early Near Eastern jewelry, and most of the rest of its story is modern crystal lore rather than documented history. Whatever the history, pink quartz has never been out of fashion.
Where does rose quartz come from?
Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa, India and South Dakota are the main sources. Faceters want clean, even rose quartz; we want the opposite. The pieces here are picked from the crystals a cutter passes over, the banded, the frosted and the oddly pointed, plus vintage parcels from old collections, so nothing is mined to order for us.
Is raw rose quartz good for everyday wear?
Keep it dry and out of long direct sun, which can fade the pink.
