Buyer's guide

Kunzite

Kunzite is the pink to violet variety of spodumene. Its soft color suits a pendant or earrings, with care around knocks and strong light.

Rough Kunzite specimen

Before the cut

From rough stone to custom jewelry

Kunzite rough holds a soft pink light that deepens once it is cut. We craft delicate settings that keep that gentle color safe. Tell us if kunzite caught your eye and we will start your design.

What to look for

Color

Stronger pink to violet is prized. Color changes with viewing angle, so the cutter chooses the best direction.

Clarity

Most fine faceted stones are eye clean. Check for fractures that could affect wear.

Cut

Deep cutting can strengthen pale color. Kunzite cleaves easily, so cutting and setting need care.

Care

Prolonged heat or strong light can fade some stones. Store away from sunlight and avoid steam or ultrasound.
