A faceted rose quartz brings a warm, rosy glow to this pendant - one that shifts with every movement. The faceted cut does not hide the stone behind a smooth surface; it multiplies the reflections and draws out a depth of colour that a cabochon would never reveal. The minimal setting steps back, leaving all attention on the stone and its subtle shimmer at the neckline.

Every rose quartz is assessed for colour and clarity before it goes into the setting - quality matters, not chance. Good specimens are rising in price alongside silver, so today's price is genuinely reasonable. The metal is refined European sterling silver 925: the alloy contains no nickel - a metal known to cause allergic reactions - so the piece does not trigger allergies. Rhodium covers the surface with a thin, hard layer resistant to scratching and tarnishing. The pendant is stamped with the French maker's mark struck on the piece, registered at the French assay office. Rose quartz has long been associated with love and tenderness - it is a stone that carries warm meaning.

For everyday wear, the pendant works beautifully with an oversized jumper in off-white or warm beige - the rosy tone of the stone brings life to quiet colours. A draped scarf in grey or cream tones creates a backdrop against which the facets of the quartz catch the light with every movement. At a deeper neckline, the pendant stands on its own, with no need for additional layers.
