Soft pink in a quartz material
Rose quartz is a pink variety of quartz, often showing a cloudy or translucent appearance. The amount of visible cloudiness and the depth of pink can differ between pieces. A broad carving presents a larger field of color, while small beads repeat the pink shade through a design. These are visible differences, not levels of a promised effect.
Rose Quartz in Jewelry
Rose quartz is used in beads, pendants and ornamental jewelry, where its pink color is a visible design feature.
| Type of Jewelry | Description |
|---|---|

| Pendants | Carved rose quartz pieces worn as charms |
| Ornamental | Decorative rose quartz jewelry pieces |
Personal symbolism
In contemporary crystal symbolism, rose quartz is associated with love and compassion. These are personal or cultural associations. Someone may choose a piece as a reminder of those values, without expecting the material to produce a physical or emotional effect.
Before choosing a piece
Read the stated material, dimensions and construction of the actual item. Keep the care directions for its setting, cord or other components as well as the stone. Store finished pieces so that they do not strike one another, and choose a stable location for decorative objects.
