Keira Silver Earrings - Rose Quartz

Silver 925 is an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper

Rose Quartz is the soft, pink variety of quartz.

According to modern research, its pink color doesn’t come from mere traces of metal, but from millions of microscopic mineral fibers trapped inside the crystal.

It typically forms in pegmatites, in compact, milky masses rather than clear crystals — hence its gentle, romantic look.

It is the quintessential “stone of love,” long revered as a heart talisman — from the Egyptians to the Romans.

Known as the “stone of unconditional love,” it has been worn to heal and open the heart.

Very rarely, some specimens reveal a six-rayed “star” that appears under light thanks to fine rutile needles within.

Shades range from barely tinted pink to a warm rose, often richer in specimens from Madagascar.

Most specimens come from Brazil, as well as Madagascar and India.

Associated with love, compassion, and emotional calm, rose quartz is cherished for the tenderness it conveys.

With a hardness of 7, it’s suitable for everyday wear, but its color can fade in strong sunlight, so it’s best kept away from prolonged heat.

Cleans easily with a soft cloth. Its delicate tone is beautifully showcased in 925 silver and rose gold.

The zirconia used in jewelry (cubic zirconia) is a stone that’s entirely man-made.

It’s zirconium dioxide melted at over 2700°C and carefully crystallized to obtain a clear, inclusion-free stone.

It’s virtually absent in nature — a triumph of the lab.

It even has a Cold War backstory: it was perfected by Soviet scientists at the Lebedev Institute in Moscow in the 1970s, under the name “fianit”.

The result mimics a diamond’s fire so well that it has become the most popular sparkling and affordable alternative to diamond.

Good to know: it’s different from “zircon,” which is a completely separate natural gemstone.

Most often it’s colorless, mirroring diamond, but it can be produced in any color.

Its strong brilliance is beautifully showcased in 925 silver and gold.

As a modern stone, it doesn’t have its own symbolic tradition, but it’s loved for its sparkle and versatility.

With a hardness of 8–8,5 it stands up well to everyday wear, requiring only moderate care.

Clean it gently to keep its fire, and it’s right at home in everyday jewelry.
