Criteria that matter most

Hardness – harder stones suit rings and daily wear; softer ones are safer in earrings and pendants
Metal pairing – warm metals deepen warm stones, cool metals sharpen cool ones
Natural variation – every stone differs in tone, so the photograph shows the style rather than the exact piece
Care – store stones separately and keep them away from ultrasonic cleaners and jewellery dips

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is green gold quartz?

Quartz with a soft green colour, also known as prasiolite or green amethyst. It is in the same family as purple amethyst and clear rock crystal.

Q2. Is it the same as emerald?

No. Emerald is beryl and far rarer and more expensive. Green quartz is a softer, paler green at a fraction of the price.

Q3. How durable is it?

At 7 on the Mohs scale it matches other quartz, which makes it hard enough for regular wear in earrings and pendants.

Q4. What does it pair with?

Cream, navy, olive and denim. The soft green suits both warm and cool skin tones, which is why it works as an easy everyday stone.
