Rhodochrosite is a soft stone with a Mohs hardness of 3.5-4. We have bezel set this stone securely to ensure it is protected on all sides, but please wear it responsibly.
Rhodochrosite, once prized primarily by mineral collectors, is now recognized as a rare, jewelry-worthy gem. Most rhodochrosite is opaque with white streaks, but the transparent, high-quality version—like this 1.87ct stone from the Sweet Home Mine in Alma, Colorado—is incredibly rare. This mine, historically known for its gold and silver deposits, became famous for producing the most stunning, gem-quality rhodochrosite, which was first celebrated by Tiffany’s George Kunz in the late 1800s.
Symbolizing love and energy, rhodochrosite is thought to open the heart and promote optimism. We've set this delicate, vibrant gem in 22K gold, designing a protective yet elegant setting that highlights its natural beauty. The cuff, with its blend of soft curves and geometric lines, adds a modern touch while ensuring the stone’s security and prominence.
