Gemstone Description – Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is one of the most admired and recognisable varieties of quartz, treasured for its gentle pink hue and vitreous lustre. Belonging to the silicate mineral group, it is composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). The delicate colouration is caused by trace inclusions of titanium, iron, or manganese, which give the crystal its characteristic blush tones ranging from soft pastel pink to deeper rosy shades.
Geologically, rose quartz typically forms within pegmatitic veins — slow-cooling igneous formations rich in silica — where it crystallises under low pressure and high temperature. This allows for large, well-formed masses of translucent quartz to develop. Specimens of this quality are cut and polished to produce lustrous beads, prized in fine gemstone jewellery.
Rose Quartz has been found in various regions around the world, including Madagascar, Brazil, and South Africa, but this particular necklace has been handcrafted in Devon, England, combining local artisan skill with globally sourced, high-grade crystal material.

Artisan Craftsmanship – Handmade in Devon
Each necklace is handmade by skilled British artisans in Devon, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Every gemstone bead is individually selected for consistency of tone and quality, then polished and threaded by hand to create a balanced and comfortable fit. The attention to detail in this craftsmanship highlights the natural beauty of the rose quartz while maintaining durability and a professional finish.
The design combines simplicity and elegance, allowing the subtle pink hue of the stones to catch and reflect light beautifully. Measuring 21 inches in total length, this necklace is ideal for everyday wear or as a statement piece layered with other natural gemstone jewellery.
Geological and Historical Significance
Rose quartz has been admired since antiquity. Ancient civilisations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, associated it with love, beauty, and emotional balance. Artefacts carved from rose quartz have been found dating back thousands of years, often used in amulets, seals, and decorative ornaments.
From a geological standpoint, rose quartz provides insight into the mineral formation processes within pegmatitic environments, where silica-rich fluids cool slowly, allowing large crystal growth. The presence of fibrous microscopic inclusions in rose quartz scatters light, producing the soft glow and even colour that make it highly sought after in both lapidary work and jewellery design.
Aesthetic Appeal and Presentation
This piece’s soft pink hues are naturally calming and complement all skin tones, making it versatile for both casual and formal wear. The high polish on each bead enhances its reflective qualities, creating a smooth, luxurious finish.
Presented as part of our curated jewellery collection, this necklace represents a union of natural geology and fine British craftsmanship. Each piece undergoes a careful quality inspection to ensure the stones are of A-grade clarity and polish before being assembled into the final necklace.
The necklace is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming that the rose quartz used is a genuine, natural specimen and not dyed or synthetic. The certificate also guarantees its origin and the authenticity of its handmade craftsmanship in Devon, UK.
Collector and Gift Value
