Gold Vermeil Rose Quartz & Freshwater Pearl Charm Bracelet
Two charms. Two materials. One piece that moves between the tender and the luminous with an ease that feels entirely natural.
Rose quartz is a variety of quartz whose characteristic blush colour is produced by trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese within the crystal structure. It is one of the most widely recognised stones in the world, and one of the most consistently beloved, worn across ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome as a stone of love and beauty, and carried through every subsequent era as a talisman of the heart. Associated with the heart chakra, it is considered the stone of unconditional love: of compassion, emotional healing, and the kind of open, receptive warmth that allows both giving and receiving to flow freely. It is a stone for those who wish to feel more fully connected to others, to themselves, and to the world around them. The faceted charm draws out the full softness of the stone’s colour, its cut catching the light with a gentle, rose-tinted brilliance that shifts with every movement of the wrist.
The freshwater pearl that accompanies it is one of nature’s most considered creations. Formed over years within freshwater molluscs, each pearl is unique; no two share the same surface, lustre, or overtone. Prized for their soft, creamy body colour and their characteristic orient, the subtle play of iridescence across the surface, freshwater pearls carry a warmth that no synthetic stone can replicate. They are also among the most durable of organic gems, making them as well-suited to daily wear as they are to occasion dressing.
Both charms hang from a gold vermeil cable chain bracelet, its open links giving the piece a lightness on the wrist that belies its quality. The bracelet measures 7.5 inches and, due to the nature of the open cable links, sits adjustably across a range of wrist sizes — the charms finding their own position with every wear. Set in gold vermeil: sterling silver with a thick layer of 24 karat gold, chosen for its quality and longevity, a step above plated jewellery and a considered alternative to solid gold.
