Rutilated Quartz Jewelry in Sterling Silver  

Golden Needle Inclusions Set in .925 Sterling Silver

Rutilated quartz forms when titanium dioxide crystals become trapped inside growing quartz. The result is transparent stone containing golden, copper, or silver-toned threads that catch light from every angle. Major deposits exist in Brazil, Madagascar, and Pakistan, where miners extract rough material that cutters then shape to display the internal needle patterns. Our rutilated quartz jewelry pairs these included stones with solid .925 sterling silver settings. The white metal creates contrast that lets the golden rutile needles stand out against the clear quartz body. You will find cabochon cuts that emphasize the scattered needle patterns and faceted stones that add sparkle to the internal structures. SilverRush Style has sourced natural gemstones since 2005. Every rutilated quartz piece ships free within the US and arrives with a stone that no polishing or treatment can replicate. The inclusions that make each stone distinct formed deep underground, long before any jeweler touched the rough crystal.
