{"product_id":"smokey-quartz","title":"Smokey Quartz - Oval","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"415\"\u003eThis one-of-a-kind Smoky Quartz cabochon measures approximately 18.5mm by 24.5mm with a low domed height of around 5.5mm, offering a broad, organic shape with a soft, grounded presence. The stone displays a beautiful range of smoky tones, from pale tea-brown and warm cognac through to deeper charcoal shading, with natural variations in transparency that allow light to drift gently through the body of the quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"785\"\u003eThis piece has a more rustic cut, with slightly uneven shaping and less precise symmetry, giving it a natural, unrefined character that suits handmade or organic-style jewellery. Despite its imperfect finish, the stone still carries the quiet elegance Smoky Quartz is known for, with a soft glow that becomes more noticeable when backlit or set against lighter metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"787\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003eThe elongated, slightly asymmetrical oval form makes it well suited to freeform or artisan settings, particularly pendants or statement rings where a more natural aesthetic is preferred. It pairs beautifully with sterling silver, oxidised finishes, or warm brass tones, depending on whether you want to highlight its moody depth or keep the overall design soft and earthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1i7rm9v\" data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003eKey Properties \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1300\"\u003eSmoky Quartz is a variety of Quartz prized for its earthy colouration, durability, and grounding visual quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1456\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1320\"\u003eMohs Hardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoky Quartz has a hardness of approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"1366\" data-end=\"1371\"\u003e7\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it a durable and reliable gemstone suitable for most jewellery applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1648\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1471\"\u003eCleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or brush.
