All About Rose Quartz Jewelry!

Famous for its pale rose-red hues, the rose quartz receives its colorations from a mix of iron, manganese or titanium. In spite of its lovely shading and interesting swirls and lines, rose quartz is an under-appreciated gemstone. Why not take a closer look at this beautiful stone and take in all of the possibilities?

Rose quartz is a member of the rock crystal family. The most coveted pieces of quartz are clear or translucent. When there are light yellow or brown tinges to the quartz, it becomes known as a citrine. The presence of titanium or several other trace elements gives it the pink coloration that identifies it as a rose quartz. A violet coloration turns the quartz into an amethyst. Although abundant, milk quartz is little more than crystalline quartz that features numerous inclusions of trapped liquids or gasses.

Alternative healers love rose quartz for its vibrations. Keeping this stone under your pillow is said to make your marriage more vibrant and give you a younger-looking face and body in the process. It makes a wearer feel worthy of being loved and worthy of extending affection. By extension, wearing this stone gives you a sense of inner peace. Firm believers of alternative medicine suggest that you can charge water with the stone and then use it for washing your skin. The result is a younger-looking you.

Feng shui properties make it a suitable ornament. Do not keep the properties of the rose quartz to yourself. Include it in your home’s décor with carved artwork or dishes made of the material. Add a red string and a mystic knot pattern to seal the deal. Place the ornamentation in the southwestern portion or in the center of the home. Add a few additional crystals in your bedroom or in areas where others sleep.

Plenty of options for use in jewelry. Heart-shaped rose quartz pendants are a popular present for Valentine’s Day and when celebrating anniversaries. In a Sterling silver setting, a sphere makes for a wonderful cocktail ring. A collection of spheres may be complemented with other gemstones for a stunning necklace. Earrings feature rose quartz globes in gold and silver settings. This gemstone pairs well with gold vermeil and labradorite.

If the beauty of the gemstone is not enough to persuade you to take a closer look the next time you visit a jeweler, consider the rich history of the pink quartz. It was the stuff of Greek and Roman legends, accompanied Egyptian pharaohs into the afterlife and enjoyed places of honor in Tibet and China. This type of international gemstone is truly a beautiful find to own and wear.
