With metals: silver enhances cool tones (smoky quartz, pale pink quartz), while gold and gold-plated brass warm up warm hues (yellow quartz, orange quartz, strawberry quartz, gold-plated rutile quartz).
With other natural stones: create chromatic gradations by combining several quartz stones (pink + strawberry for a cameo of pinks) or contrasts (smoky quartz + pink quartz for sophistication + softness, green quartz + orange quartz for a complementary duo).
With beads: freshwater pearls bring softness and luminosity to quartz creations, particularly harmonious with rose quartz or strawberry quartz for an ultra-feminine style.
With natural materials: light wood, leather, cotton and linen underline the authenticity of quartz stones for a natural, bohemian style. Smoky quartz goes particularly well with dark wood.
How to care for Quartz jewelry
Regular cleaning: run your quartz jewelry under lukewarm water with a mild soap, then dry with a soft cloth. Quartz tolerates water well, unlike some porous stones. For delicate smoky or colored quartz, prefer a simple dry wipe.
Storage: keep your jewelry separate in fabric pouches to avoid scratches between pieces. Quartz, though hard, can scratch other, softer stones.
Protection: although resistant with its hardness of 7, quartz can crack or chip if struck against a hard surface. Remove your jewelry during strenuous physical activity or manual labor.
