The Power of Pink Gemstones

Discover the world of pink gemstones. Maybe you've noticed – the color pink is having a moment. In restaurants, it seems, everyone's sipping on a glass of gorgeous rosé. This year's Met Gala saw many fashion-forward celebs in shades ranging from petal pink to fiery fuchsia. And, of course, hot-pink Barbiecore is everywhere!

While pink is definitely making a splash right now, its appeal is really quite timeless. Why not get in on the trend with some classic pieces of pink gemstone jewelry?

In Western cultures, the color pink represents love, romance, youth, and femininity. It balances the energy of red with the lightness of white. Soft shades of pink are used in interior décor to create a warm, soothing atmosphere. Bright, bold shades of pink are passionate, playful, and full of life.

Did you know that pink is the color most associated with sweetness? That's why so many bakeries use it for their boxes!

Pink is part of the palettes of Valentine's Day and Easter. And, of course, it's the shade beloved by so many little girls. But there are shades of pink for grownups, too.

The Power of Pink Gemstones

Pink is universally flattering, and the soft shades of pink gemstone jewelry look good on just about everyone. Ranging in hue from the lightest pastel to deep rose, these gems add warmth and a dash of feminine playfulness to your look. And they pair wonderfully with other stones.

Think pink, and invite shades of this pretty color into your jewelry wardrobe. HAVERHILL offers jewelry featuring four different pink gems: Rose Quartz, Pink Opal, Pink Sapphire, and Pink Tourmaline. Which one speaks to you?

Rose Quartz Gemstones

Milky-pink and translucent, Rose Quartz has a soft appearance that makes it wonderfully versatile. Known as a symbol of unconditional love and healing, the gem has been worn as jewelry for centuries. Rose Quartz is a wonderful gift to give yourself, a reminder that you are deeply deserving of love, peace, and joy.

Rose Quartz Jewelry

Rose Quartz is available as part of HAVERHILL's Warren Collection.

The Warren Horizontal Rose Quartz Ring features an impressive emerald-cut gem in an east-west orientation. Flattering on all hand shapes, it's a statement piece all on its own and stacks beautifully with other rings.

The Warren Rose Quartz Pendant makes a refined statement. This emerald-cut, bezel-set gem is available on its own or on your choice of Saffron, Adelaide, Adelaide Mini, and Newport chains. Heritage styling makes it a perfect gift for milestone occasions like graduations and anniversaries.

Pink Opal Gemstones

While Pink Opal doesn't have the same play of color that most Opals do, this opaque gem is prized for its creamy, baby-pink color. It's known as a gem of deep calm and tranquility, and has even been called a stone of spiritual healing. Wear Pink Opal to lift your spirits and support your mood with loving kindness.

Pink Opal Jewelry

Simple and elegant, the Grand Pink Opal Ring features a briolette-cut gemstone set in a 14k gold bezel on a slim, comfortable band. A beautifully minimalist statement on its own, it stacks wonderfully with other rings.

The glimmering Grand 7 Pink Opal & Pink Tourmaline Bracelet alternates three eyecatching Pink Opals with four understated Pink Tourmalines on a classic cable chain. The juxtaposition of the two stones, in shades of light and deep pink, is simply stunning.

Pink Sapphire Gemstones

While we're used to thinking of Sapphires as blue, some rare ones are actually pink. This increasingly popular gemstone comes in hues ranging from palest pink to nearly magenta. Pink Sapphire respresents love, romance, compassion, and femininity. Wear Pink Sapphire jewelry to celebrate your feminine power and own unique beauty.

Pink Sapphire Jewelry

Luxuriate in the power of pink with the Newport Grand Pink Sapphire Bracelet. A strand of briolette-cut, bezel-set gemstones positively glows on this tennis-style bracelet. Lightweight enough for everyday wear and and perfect for a night on the town.

Pink Tourmaline Gemstones

A beautiful, translucent crystal, Pink Tourmaline ranges in color from pastel pink to deep rose. It represents pure love, understanding, empathy, and friendship. Think of Pink Tourmaline jewelry as a pair of rose-colored glasses – a reminder to view the world in a positive light, and share your positivity with others.

Pink Tourmaline Jewelry

Share your story with the Classic 1 Letter & 4 Pink Tourmaline Necklace, featuring your initial engraved on both sides of a shiny gold disc, centered between four glowing gems. A delicate, elegant piece that's sure to become a much-loved favorite.

FAQ

What's the birthstone for October?

Opal, Pink Opal, Pink Sapphire, and Pink Tourmaline are all birthstones for the month of October. Choose a favorite, or wear them all!
Should I wear a pink gemstone only if it’s my birthstone?

You don't have to be an October baby to wear these beautiful gems. People wear gemstones for many reasons, not just because it’s the birthstone for the month they were born. You may wear a gem because you like its color, because its traditional meaning speaks to you, or because it reminds you of someone you love. Jewelry is extremely personal and you should feel free to wear any gemstone you like.
How do I care for Rose Quartz, Pink Sapphire, and Pink Tourmaline jewelry?

Your Rose Quartz, Pink Tourmaline, and Pink Sapphire jewelry will stay looking great with an occasional cleaning. Use a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner or mild, dye-free dish soap and water. Let the jewelry soak in a small bowl for a few minutes, then brush gently with a soft toothbrush. Rinse it completely and blot dry with a chamois cloth. Keep it away from harsh chemicals like bleach and strong household cleaners.
How do I care for my Pink Opal jewelry?

Pink Opal jewelry needs a bit more TLC than most gemstones. Because of its high water content, Pink Opal can absorb chemicals such as lotions, creams, and perfumes. Remove your jewelry before applying anything that may be absorbed. Keep it away from extreme heat and be sure not to strike it against hard surfaces. Clean occasionally with warm water, and blot dry with a chamois cloth. Never clean Pink Opal jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner.
