Rutilated Quartz Pendant

This 42 x 26 mm pendant is crafted from high-purity 950 silver and features a 31 x 26 mm gold-plated rutilated quartz cabochon, cut in a triangular shape and set in an open box setting on the back to allow light to enter. The stone is pierced by rutile inclusions, which, taking advantage of its translucency, appear as tiny, luminous, and brilliant golden needles. This is an elegant and unique piece of jewelry.

Rutilated quartz is simply quartz whose interior has been "pierced" by inclusions of rutile, a needle-like mineral ranging in color from brown to reddish, composed of titanium oxide. These needles appear within the quartz as a luminous, bright golden color. It was once considered to represent sunlight captured by the stone and was believed to bring light to those experiencing gloomy moods.
