A Different Standard for Cabochons
Most rose quartz on the market is:
Cloudy or overly milky
Weak in color
Poorly cut with flat or uneven domes
We reverse that process. Each cabochon is selected under a defined gemstone quality system before cutting begins — only the finest 5% qualifies for jewelry use.
This ensures a high-quality cabochon with:
Balanced translucency
Soft but clearly defined color
Clean internal structure
The result is a cabochon for jewelry making with refined light performance and visual harmony.
The Gemrock 5 % Standard™
Not all Rose Quartz is suitable for high-quality cabochons.
Before cutting, we evaluate:
Color tone and saturation
Degree of translucency (not too milky, not too pale)
Internal clarity and structure
Surface quality and polish response
Only a small fraction meets these criteria.

About Peruvian Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is a variety of quartz (SiO₂) known for its pink coloration and translucent appearance.
Peruvian Rose Quartz is valued for:
Its soft and natural pink tones
Its balanced translucency
Its suitability for cabochon cutting
Unlike faceted gemstones, Rose Quartz expresses its beauty through:
Light diffusion rather than brilliance
Internal glow rather than sharp reflections
Each cabochon shows subtle variations in color intensity and translucency.
Durability & Wearability
Rose Quartz has a hardness of approximately 7 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for a wide range of jewelry applications.
This means:
Good resistance to scratching
Suitable for rings, pendants, and earrings
Stable for everyday wear
A durable option for both delicate and frequently worn jewelry.
Care & Cleaning
Proper care will maintain the appearance of your rose quartz cabochon.
How to care for rose quartz jewelry:
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water
Use a soft cloth or brush
Avoid prolonged exposure to strong sunlight (may fade color over time)
Avoid harsh chemicals
Store separately to prevent scratching
Rose Quartz is relatively durable but benefits from gentle handling to preserve its polish and color.
