The warm pink of rhodonite
One of the most beautiful qualities of rhodonite is its deep, raspberry-coloured base, structured by dark black or brown veins. This pendant is made from an uncut stone, so every piece is unique to you: some have many veins running through them, while others have one bold thick line.
Who this stone suits
Rhodonite looks especially good with an autumn-winter colour palette and brings out warm skin tones. If you love finely feminine yet not too sweet jewellery, this piece is a good choice. It is also a lovely gesture for Mother's Day, a birthday or a graduation.
The structure of the pendant
The stone is set into a silver-coloured metal holder, keeping its raw, original shape. The setting embraces it from the side and back, so the stone stays firmly in place while worn. A loop on top lets you thread your own chain or leather cord.
Moods and occasions
You can wear it every day, it adds a little contrast at the office, and it also holds its own at dinner with a simple black or cream dress. Many people wear it everywhere from gardening to a city walk, because it does not get in the way.
How to look after it
Rhodonite is a moderately hard mineral, so it is worth protecting it from impacts and chemicals. Please take it off when showering or exercising. You can clean it gently with a soft cloth, and stored in a separate pouch it will keep its deep pink for a long time.
The combination of the raspberry base and the dark veining creates a warm, earthy mood. You can wear it on a long, looser chain so that the pendant accents the chest, or shorter so that it sits closer to the neck. Both lengths look good.
