Are you a rose colour lover? If yes, then you found your gemstone. Rhodochrosite's name comes from the Greek language, meaning rose-coloured! So, if you are a fan of it, let's move on to more gemmological information about this gemstone and some jewellery pieces I like.
Apart from its intense rose/pink colour, rhodochrosite presents some bands on it which vary from pale pink to white. Its lustre is vitreous and it is more commonly translucent to opaque. However there is a transparent variety of rhodochrosite as well. It has a hardness 4 at Moh's scale, which means that it can easily break, so please be very careful when you have your jewellery pieces on you. Moreover, this gemstone acts strongly with acids, so avoid perfumes, chemicals etc.
Jewellery lovers out there, we understand each other and know that jewellery make us happier, especially when they feauture gemstones. Both of the two pieces depicted below are part of Missoma's 'Momposina' collection. Thus, this bracelet shown below by missoma in 18ct gold vermeil on sterling silver metal, has 5 rhodochrosite charms along the chain, separated by bobble metallic details. It looks so delicate and chic and it feels very light on the hand. Honestly, it adds a touch of sparkle, due to its metal, thus it can be worn on every occasion. This means, you can have it on you, during the day and also on a night out with friends or if you are invited to a birthday party or a wedding.

A necklace is the next rhodochrosite piece that I wanted to share with you. This one, reminds me of a journey necklace, but it is not exactly like the classic one with diamonds. On the contrary this necklace has 1 rhodochrosite. Moreover, it feels more of a night piece than a day one, perfect for a sweetheart neckline dress. Thus, if you are invited to any special occasion this summer, this necklace is elegant and perfect for you. It is made in 18ct gold vermeil on sterling silver metal, feauturing 1 rhodochrosite charm.
