Rose Quartz Split Necklace
Rose Quartz Split Necklace from China
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is the pink variety of quartz, which owes its colour to traces of titanium, iron or manganese, or to microscopic fibres of another mineral. The colour ranges from soft pale pink to intense pink and is usually translucent to opaque, with a glassy sheen. Rose quartz is widely used in jewellery and as a decorative stone.
Major deposits include Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa and the United States. The mineral occurs in pegmatites and hydrothermal veins. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚ and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale. A rare variant is star-rose quartz, which may show asterism in polished cabochons due to fine inclusions of rutile.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
