Earrings with Rose Quartz - Gold-plated brass - OCTA TERRA

Rose Quartz – the stone of the heart, love, and emotional harmony 💞

Rose quartz from India is a stone with a gentle pink aura – a symbol of love, empathy, and inner warmth. In the OCTA TERRA collection, it takes a form that keeps it whole: one whole stone, hand-cut into an octagon, with no resin-set chips and no tensor ring. The octagon is the spiritual eight – a sign of infinity, continuity, and endless flow.

🌍 Origin and nature of the stone

• Country of origin: India
• Mineral group: Quartz
• Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale

Rose quartz has a milky pink color – from the subtle glow of morning to the deep pink of the setting sun. Regarded for thousands of years as a stone of the heart and love, it has been a symbol of gentleness, compassion, and harmony. In ancient cultures, it was worn as an amulet meant to soothe emotions and attract close, warm relationships.

💎 VEL LEES handcrafted geometry – the OCTA TERRA octagon

In OCTA TERRA, the stone is not an insert in a frame. It is a whole: one piece, eight faces, one axis. The eight facets refract light at eight angles, so the earring sparkles with every turn of the head instead of shining evenly.

• Cut: octagon, one whole stone
• Stone size: 8 × 8 mm (± 0.4 mm – hand-cut stone)
• Bezel cup: 9.5 × 9.5 mm, height 2.3 mm
• Fastening: stud post with a butterfly back (push back)
• Setting material: gold-plated brass
• Protective coating: Infinity 8 Protect
• Weight: approx. 2.1 g (pair with stones; settings alone 1.25 g)
• Octagon (8): symbol of continuity, wholeness, and harmony of flow

The octagon sits between the square and the circle: the square stands for the four directions and the earth, while the circle has no beginning and no end. That is why, for centuries, octagons were used to build thresholds between the one and the other – the Baptistery of St. John in Florence and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem are both octagonal. Here, you wear that same threshold close to your face.

The gold plating is sealed with Infinity 8 Protect – an additional electroplated layer that slows down wear in everyday use.

💞 Energetic properties and effects of rose quartz

In lithotherapy, rose quartz is sometimes called the stone of unconditional love, empathy, and heart healing. Its energy is described as soft and gentle, yet deeply transformative:

• It opens the heart to love – both for oneself and for others.
• It calms emotions, alleviates tensions, and supports emotional balance.
• It promotes the rebuilding of relationships, bringing harmony and compassion.
• It protects sensitive individuals from emotional burnout and sadness.
• It strengthens self-esteem, helping to receive and give love naturally.
• It brings peace and warmth, helping to open up to joy and gratitude.

Worn close to the face, rose quartz works near the cheek and the smile, where warmth shows the fastest.

✨ Symbolism of the OCTA TERRA collection

OCTA TERRA rests on a single principle: one natural stone, cut into an octagon, in a brass setting. Seventeen stones to choose from, earrings and pendants, and the setting in two finishes: gold plating in a gold tone and palladium plating in a silver tone. This piece is gold-plated.

The eight in the name stands for eight sides that close into a circle – a form with no beginning and no end. The spiritual 8 speaks of continuity: intention does not work in bursts, it keeps coming back.

Every piece turns out different. A natural stone has its own shade, pattern, and inclusions, and with hand-cutting the size may vary by half a millimeter. For the same reason, the weight may differ by a few hundredths of a gram. The photos show the pattern and color; your stone will turn out a little different.

📌 Summary

These earrings with rose quartz from the OCTA TERRA collection are two whole 8 × 8 mm stones, cut into octagons and set in gold-plated brass. An amulet of the heart, empathy, and warm relationships – for those who want to live in tune with their feelings.
