Specifications

The Venus Pendant is set with an exceptional rutilated quartz. The perfectly aligned rutiles inside the gem give the appearance of a thread of gold.
In ancient times, they were referred to as "The Hair of Venus" or "Angel's Hair." Two diamonds are set on the sides of the pendant in the South/East and North/West positions.

This is a true solar piece of jewelry.

Why We Love Rutilated Quartz

Rutilated quartz is one of nature's most captivating gemstones, featuring delicate golden threads of rutile suspended within clear quartz crystal. These ethereal inclusions, often called "Angel's Hair," create a mesmerizing effect—like capturing sunlight within stone.

Unlike most gemstones where inclusions are considered flaws, rutilated quartz celebrates them. The golden rutile needles create unique patterns in every stone—no two are ever alike. Some display fine, hair-like threads, while others feature bold, dramatic streaks. This natural artistry makes each piece of rutilated quartz jewelry truly one-of-a-kind.

Historical Significance

Historically, rutilated quartz has been celebrated for its beauty and metaphysical properties. In ancient times, it was often referred to as "The Hair of Venus" or "Angel's Hair." These names reflect the gemstone's ethereal appearance and its association with divine beauty.

Why Choose Rutilated Quartz?

Unique Character
Every rutilated quartz is a natural work of art. The golden inclusions create patterns that cannot be replicated, ensuring your jewelry is completely unique.

Versatile Beauty
Rutilated quartz pairs beautifully with both yellow and white gold. The golden rutile threads complement warm metals while the clear quartz provides contrast with cooler tones.
