This necklace with faceted rose quartz draws out delicate glimmers of light from the stone with every turn of the head. Six rose quartz stones are set along a 38-centimetre chain, and an adjustable 4-centimetre extension lets you set the neckline depth to your liking. The loose, relaxed form and the natural character of the stone fit right into a boho mood - nothing stiff, just a touch of ease in every detail of the chain.

Each quartz is checked against the light before it goes into its setting - what matters is clarity and even colour, with no cloudy patches. Good stones of this quality are getting harder to find, and the price of silver and precious metals keeps rising steadily, so today's price on this necklace makes sense. The setting is sterling silver 925 from European refining, further coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps the shine lasting. The alloy contains no nickel or other irritating additives, so the necklace can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The French maker's mark on the metal attests to the origin of the silver and the craftsmanship behind this piece. Rose quartz has long been associated with love and tenderness, and is also seen as a symbol of harmonious relationships - which is why it's a popular gift for someone close to you.

In summer, this necklace pairs well with a linen dress in a light shade of ecru or powder pink - the stone stands out softly against the natural fabric, and an exposed neckline shows off the length of the chain. It also works with a simple cotton shirt worn with an open collar, where the rose quartz softens a more structured cut. For evening wear, it looks great with a thin-strapped dress, when the neckline is left bare and the stone draws all the attention.
