When you are shopping for rock crystal quartz jewelry, the most important value factor to consider is the clarity of the quartz. This transparent white quartz, relative of amethyst, is one of the treasures of the ancient world, more durable and luxurious than glass.

Rock crystal should be colorless, of course, and clarity is the most important value factor: perfectly clean and clear quartz is actually pretty rare. Cut is more important too, since a well-cut rock crystal will reflect more light back to the eye.

Because all Gemvara jewelry is made to order, we can hand-select fine-quality rock crystal to perfectly suit your design.

What is the meaning of rock crystal in the language of gems? The ancient Greeks theorized that rock crystal was ice that was frozen so hard it couldn't thaw. Rock crystal is an affordable way to "ice yourself." If you crave a big rock that won't break the bank, rock crystal is beautiful and natural, with lasting value.

Because its color goes with everything, rock crystal jewelry is crafted in sterling silver, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold.

Quartz is a durable gem perfect for everyday wear. Clean rock crystal jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush behind the stone where dust can collect.

Gemvara's fine quality rock crystal jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

With a little care, your fine jewelry will keep its good looks forever. The best way to clean your jewelry is by soaking it in a bowl of warm water with a few drops of ordinary dish detergent. If needed, use a soft brush where dust and soap can collect. Then just rinse and pat dry with a soft cloth.

You won't have to clean your jewelry as often if you put it on after applying hairspray, perfume, and cosmetics. Be sure to remove your jewelry before strenuous activities like sports. Keep jewelry away from chlorine and other household chemicals. Always make sure it is dry and clean by wiping with a cloth before putting it away.

To protect the beauty of your jewelry, don't keep it in a tangle in a jewelry box. Remember, gems can scratch metal or each other. When you travel, make sure your jewelry pieces don't rub against each other in your bag. Store each piece separately or wrap each one in tissue paper or a soft cloth.
