Pendant with Rose Quartz - Palladium-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. At this size, light passes through the entire stone, so the milky pink works in its depths, not just on the surface.

• Cut: octagon, one whole stone
• Stone size: 22 × 22 mm (± 1 mm – hand-cut stone)
• Frame: 33 × 24 mm, palladium-plated brass
• Protective coating: Infinity 8 Protect
• Weight: approx. 5.4 g (frame 1.05 g, stone approx. 4.3 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 on your body.

The palladium coating 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.

It is a stone that reminds us that every relationship – including the one with ourselves – begins with love.

🧵 Black waxed cord included

The pendant comes with a black waxed cord, 105 cm long – two Royal Cubits, the same measure you get with the ROYAL TERRA amulets. You can tie the cord at any length, so the same pendant can sit high at the neck one day and low on the breastbone the next. If you prefer metal, choose a chain from our chain collection.

✨ Symbolism of the OCTA TERRA collection

OCTA TERRA is built on one 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 palladium-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 a millimeter. For the same reason, the weight may differ by a few tenths of a gram. The photos show the pattern and color; your stone will turn out a little different.
