Kunzite Pendant — Sterling Silver Pink Heart-Love Stone

This Kunzite pendant pairs a soft pink kunzite with sterling silver, a delicate piece made to rest right over the heart. Worn on a chain, it sits close to the chest, which is fitting for a stone so tied to the heart chakra. The gentle pink tone reads as understated and warm rather than showy, easy to wear with almost anything.

So what is kunzite believed to do? It is a stone of gentle love and emotional healing, said to help open the heart, encourage self-acceptance, and calm nervous, anxious feelings. Wearing it as a pendant keeps that soft, reassuring energy close throughout the day, which is a big part of why kunzite jewellery is so loved.

About this piece

People often ask what gives kunzite its colour, and it is a trace of manganese tucked into the crystal as it grew. The same stone is known as the evening stone because bright sun can gradually fade that colour, so it suits softer, indoor light beautifully. Kunzite is named for George Kunz, the Tiffany gemologist who first catalogued the pink variety of spodumene in 1902. That fairly recent history is part of what makes kunzite feel like a quietly modern choice in jewellery.

Wearing your Kunzite

Take the pendant off before showering, swimming, or spending long hours in the sun, which protects the stone's colour and keeps the silver bright. Store it in a soft pouch out of direct light, and wipe it now and then with a soft, dry cloth. Keep steam and ultrasonic cleaners away, as they are too harsh for kunzite.
