Kunzite Necklace — Sterling Silver Pink Heart Stone

This Kunzite necklace sets a genuine pink kunzite stone in sterling silver, a soft, romantic piece you can wear close to the heart. Kunzite's tender pink colour has a quiet elegance that pairs beautifully with cool silver, and because you wear it near the chest, it sits right at the heart chakra it is most associated with.

So what is kunzite good for when you wear it? It is treasured as a stone of gentle love and emotional balance, believed to soothe the heart, encourage self-love, and support tolerance and calm through the ups and downs of a day. Keeping it on as jewellery is one of the easiest ways to stay close to that soft, steadying energy.

About this piece

A question people often ask is whether kunzite can be worn every day, and the honest answer is that it prefers a little care. Kunzite's pink comes from a trace of manganese, and the same stone is nicknamed the evening stone because strong sunlight can slowly fade its colour, so it shines as an evening or special-occasion piece more than an all-day-in-the-sun one. Kunzite is named for George Kunz, the Tiffany gemologist who identified it in 1902.

Wearing your Kunzite

Slip it off before showering, swimming, or long stretches in direct sun to protect both the stone's colour and the silver. Store it in a soft pouch away from bright light, and give it an occasional wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners, which are too harsh for this gentle a stone.
