Rutilated Quartz Cluster Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant

This listing is for a pendant, Rutilated Quartz Cluster Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant (shop SKU SBSRUQP198), which you can order online or see in the store.

Rutilated quartz is quartz with needle-like inclusions of rutile, which may be golden, copper, or reddish. In crystal traditions, it is associated with energy and with clarity. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth.

Because the material is natural, its color and pattern vary from piece to piece. The title describes a claw (prong) setting that holds the stone. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
