May's Birthstone: Rose Quartz
In this series I am showcasing each month’s birthstone, so you can find out all about the properties of the stone, and get ideas about how to style your birthstone jewellery to create your perfect seasonal look!
May’s birthstone rose quartz is not known as the “love stone” for nothing!
Its gentle, nurturing energy is said to lower stress and tension in the heart, and can foster empathy and heighten sensitivity. It can also help your heart accept unconditional love - and don’t we all need a little love in our lives!
Rose quartz’s gentle pale pink colour creates a romantic look for the height of Spring. Pair it with pale blues or greens for the Spring pastel palette of your dreams, or or even (if you’re feeling bold!) with an all-white outfit. As it’s a translucent stone, it will pick up either warm or cool tones depending on which metal it’s set in. It really warms up when set in yellow gold, but you can cool it down by setting it in silver, depending on what works best for your skin-tone
