Rutilated Quartz Marquise Studs - Gold Electroplated

These marquise stud earrings set natural rutilated quartz, with its fine rutile needles, in gold electroplated settings.

The marquise shape, long with pointed ends, draws the eye along the earlobe and makes a small stone look larger. Gold toned settings pick up the warm tone of the rutile needles, and the small size works for the office as well as dinner. Because every stone is cut from natural quartz, the needles fall differently in each pair, and the photo next to a quarter shows the scale. A good pick for someone who likes small, refined studs with something to look at up close.

About Rutilated Quartz

Rutilated quartz is quartz that grew around needle-like crystals of rutile. The needles usually look golden, sometimes silver, red or black, and the stone is valued for these inclusions rather than despite them. The marquise shape, also called navette, French for little boat, is traditionally linked to the court of Louis XV in the 18th century.

Stone Meaning: Rutilated quartz is traditionally associated with clarity and focus.
