This particular piece
The trillion cut — also called trillion or triangular cut — is a faceted cut with three curved or wavy sides and a flat back.
The flat back facilitates standard silver bezel setting or an "open back" setting where light also enters from the bottom.
How rose quartz is formed
Rose quartz is a variety of quartz (SiO₂) with coloration ranging from pale pink to intense pink.
What settings it works for
-
925 silver bezel ring — the triangular format provides a modern geometry that contrasts with the softness of the pink quartz; the bezel constructed on the three sides of the trillion can follow the exact shape or be simplified into a circular bezel that contains the stone. 7 Mohs hardness, suitable for everyday wear in a ring.
-
Geometric pendant — oriented with one point downwards, the trillion takes on the silhouette of an angular drop; as a silver pendant, the pink-silver combination is classic and in high demand.
-
Wire wrap — an alternative for those who work with wire; the three vertices of the trillion offer natural anchoring points for triangular or netted wire wrap.
Rose quartz in lapidary tradition
Rose quartz has been valued since ancient times for its soft color as well as its abundance — it is one of the most widely distributed minerals in the Earth's crust.
In crystal tradition, rose quartz is the stone of unconditional love, compassion, and emotional gentleness.
The symbolic properties attributed to minerals belong to cultural and historical traditions. They are shared for educational purposes, not as medical advice or a substitute for professional care.
How to recognize genuine rose quartz
Genuine massive rose quartz is translucent but not transparent: light passes through diffused, not in a straight line. It is cooler to the touch than plastic (quartz, like all minerals, conducts heat better than polymers).
Frequently asked questions
Is it a cabochon or a faceted stone?
Technically it is a stone with a faceted cut (trillion with facets on the upper surface) and a flat back — halfway between the classic cabochon with a smooth convex dome and a complex faceted gemstone.
Is it suitable for daily wear in a ring?
Yes. With 7 Mohs, rose quartz is hard enough for everyday wear in a ring; it resists scratches from most everyday surfaces (excluding harder quartz, topaz, and corundum).
Is it treated?
Untreated. The pink of the quartz is a result of its natural mineralogy. No detectable treatment. Statement based on lapidary observation; the piece does not include formal gemological certification.
What are the dimensions with tolerance?
The exact dimensions are shown in the product photographs. The dimensional tolerance of the cabochon is ±0.5 mm in any dimension.
Can I receive more than one unit?
This product is sold as an individual piece. For larger quantities for jewelry projects, please contact us via the contact page.
How to care for rose quartz?
Clean with a soft cloth and warm water with mild soap. Rinse well. Quartz resists most detergents, but prolonged exposure to intense sunlight should be avoided (it can fade the pink over time). See complete jewelry care guide.
