Rose quartz is a pale pink variety of quartz and one of the most popular stones in jewelry. Here is what it traditionally stands for, how to recognise natural rose quartz and how to wear it.

What does rose quartz stand for?

Traditionally, rose quartz is associated with love, kindness and self-care. That is why it is often given as a gift to someone close, or chosen as a reminder to be kind to yourself. These are traditional meanings rather than scientific claims.

How to recognise natural rose quartz

Natural rose quartz is usually slightly cloudy, with a soft and even pink color and small natural inclusions. Very bright, perfectly clear pink or tiny air bubbles can be signs of glass. Every natural stone varies a little, which is part of its charm.

How to wear rose quartz

The soft pink color works with white, beige, grey and denim, and it pairs well with gold-tone details. Wear the Rose Quartz Anchor bracelet on its own, or combine it with the Rose Quartz Veil necklace. It also pairs nicely with amethyst.

Caring for your rose quartz jewelry

Take your jewelry off before showering, swimming or exercising, and avoid perfume and lotion directly on the stones. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Strong sunlight over a long time can fade the color, so store it in a pouch. Read more in our care guide.
