What are quartz rings?

Jewelry varieties of quartz are very diverse in their shades. It is this advantage that allows jewelers to make all kinds of jewelry inlaid with a gem. Particular attention is paid to rings with quartz, since the sizes of the found crystals are sometimes so large that it makes it possible to create jewelry with a large stone, cut in all sorts of intricate shapes.

What types of quartz are used for rings

As a rule, when creating rings with quartz, not all of its varieties are used. Some natural crystals are not of sufficient quality and do not meet the requirements for creating jewelry. Thus, in order to make rings with quartz, the gem must have the following characteristics:

• high hardness;
• perfect transparency for colorless specimens;
• the absence of significant defects, namely, cracks, inclusions, chips, air bubbles;
• uniformity of shade, no cloudy areas;
• large enough to handle.

Stones that do not meet all requirements are used in other areas. But for jewelry, and in particular for rings with quartz, the following varieties are more often used:

• amethyst;
• morion;
• prase;
• milky and pink;
• rauchtopaz;
• rhinestone;
• rutile quartz, aka hairy;
• citrine;
• ametrine;
• tiger and falcon eye.

Such opaque stones are often cut cabochons. But transparent, which are distinguished by purity and almost perfect uniformity of shade, can give a wide variety of stepped forms that emphasize the beauty of the mineral and its unique brilliance.

Other stones can also be found in rings with quartz:

• diamond;
• cubic zirkonia;
• topaz;
• sapphire;
• Emerald.

Combinations depend on the shades of the stones. You can combine them according to certain color schemes, or you can create rainbow rings by combining several different colors at once, even if they are radically different from each other.

What metals are combined with quartz

The most suitable metal for quartz is chosen depending on the color of the stone itself. As a rule, darker frames are selected for light ones: yellow or red gold, blackened silver. For more saturated, dark stones, which in most cases do not differ in a transparent structure, they try to choose the lightest metal: silver, platinum, white gold.
