Each randomly selected heart is partially drilled from the top down to add an eyelet or wire, though they can also be electroformed or wrapped. They are thick and puffy, making them perfect for charms or pendants.
Often associated with love, passion, and romance, rose quartz is a soft lovely shade of pink with hazy to translucent transparency. Also known as the Heart Stone, Rose Quartz may have been used as a love token as early as 600 B.C. and was crafted into precious jewelry by the Assyrians back in 800 B.C. Since then, this beautiful quartz has been passed from civilization to civilization for centuries.
