About Rose Quartz Jewelry
Rose quartz is the soft pink variety of quartz, loved for its gentle, milky glow. It is one of the most popular stones for jewelry with meaning, and a classic gift between partners, friends and family. Every Vonsten rose quartz piece uses natural stone, so the shade of pink and the translucency vary slightly.
Traditional meaning of rose quartz
Rose quartz is often called the stone of love. It is traditionally associated with love in a broad sense – self-love, kindness, compassion, friendship and emotional harmony – rather than romance alone. In crystal traditions it is connected with the heart chakra, and in Greek and Roman legend pink quartz was linked with the stories of Eros and Aphrodite. Many people wear it as a daily reminder to treat themselves and others with warmth.
About the stone
Rose quartz is a quartz with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. Its colour is thought to come from microscopic mineral inclusions, which also give the stone its slightly cloudy, soft look. Clear, evenly pink pieces and more milky pieces are both natural. Like other coloured quartz, its tone can soften after long exposure to strong sunlight.
How to wear rose quartz jewelry
The Rose Quartz Anchor bracelet is a delicate everyday piece. Our bracelets have round natural stone beads of about 8 mm, a larger faceted centre stone and two small gold-tone spacers on a flexible stretch cord of about 19 cm, which suits most wrists of about 15–19 cm. The Rose Quartz Veil necklace brings the stone close to the heart. Our necklaces combine polished natural stone beads with stainless steel details and a central pendant, about 45 cm plus a 5 cm extension chain. Pink pairs beautifully with neutral knitwear, white linen and gold tones, and the bracelet and necklace work well as a matching set – an especially thoughtful Valentine's Day, anniversary or Christmas gift.
Caring for rose quartz
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid perfume, cleaning products, long contact with water and hard knocks, take your jewelry off before showering and training, and store it out of direct sunlight to protect the colour. More tips in our care guide for gemstone jewelry.
