Choosing your pink natural stone

Before being seduced by the color, it's best to start with the manufacturing technique. Not all pink stones can be worked in the same way, and some formats are better suited to one use than another.

• For elastic thread and simple bracelets : choose round beads in rose quartz, rhodonite or pink chalcedony, for example. Their regularity guarantees a clean finish and easy threading.
• For bead weaving (brick stitch, peyote): small, 2 to 3 mm faceted rhodochrosite or pink tourmaline beads are ideal for their lightness and brilliance.
• For a statement ring or pendant: a rhodonite, pink opal or pink jasper cabochon on an adjustable base creates a jewelry piece with strong character, without the need for advanced skills.
• For macramé and bohemian creations: irregular pink quartz or rhodonite chips add movement and authenticity to your knots.

The hardness of pink stones

When designing jewelry for everyday wear, the strength of the stone is as important as its aesthetics. Among our pink stones, morganite (7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale) and pink tourmaline (7 to 7.5) are the strongest, perfect for rings or bracelets worn frequently. Rhodochrosite (3.5 to 4), on the other hand, is more fragile: it should be reserved for jewelry less exposed to shocks, such as necklaces or earrings.

Combining pink stones: creating successful gradations and contrasts

Pink stones go particularly well with each other, but also with other color families:

• Monochrome gradation: mix pale pink quartz, pink chalcedony and dark pink rhodonite for a bracelet full of nuances.
• Cool-warm contrast: combine a pink gemstone with blue amazonite or labradorite for a sophisticated effect.
• Natural mix: combine pink pearls with natural wood beads for an authentic bohemian look.
• Colorful accent : a single intense pink tourmaline bead amid a strand of white freshwater pearls: pink becomes the focal point of the jewel.
