Rose Quartz Necklace – Silver

New to our range are Rose Quartz Necklaces in 6 mm bead and with sterling silver catch. We had metal parrot clasp style in 8mm in the past, but people said they found them heavy, and clasps were difficult. Yes, it is real 925 sterling silver but unfortunately due to the shape and size there is no stamp. I chose the loop and stick clasp as many of my buyers cannot manage the parrot and lobster clasps. It also makes a nice feature if you place it around to the front giving you two different necklace “looks”.

There will be certain pendants with large jump rings that can actually be strung on this 6 mm bead necklace for a third “look”.

About the crystal’s healing properties: It is such a wonderful reminder of let love in and to allow yourself to be supported. It brings harmony to your heart and thus to your relationships. Of course, thus means it flies out the door as personal pieces and as gifts – so many need to be reminded of this. My sister has found hers has help her through pain relief.

There was little difference in my buy price between the silver and metal clasp as most cost was the stringing of the beads. So, I thought most of you would like the classier silver for just a few dollars more. Also consider teaming it up with a bracelet.

And this jewellery all look the same, we will intuit the best one. When they arrive, they may sit a little crunched, so give the piece a gentle stretch and as it sits against the warmth of you neck it should relax into the best shape. If buying for another person – let them know this.

Weight dimensions are for the 50 cm. They are not exact in length due to the knots. If you need more than the website shows, please contact the shop as I only bought limited supply to test the market.

Be aware that rose quartz may fade if worn in the sun.

When you buy this rose quartz necklace with silver clasp, we will place it in a velveteen bag for you at no extra cost.

  • Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the quartz.
• "Star" Rose Quartz has microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light.
