Meaning & history
Smoky quartz gets its brown color from natural irradiation within the earth over long periods of time, and it has long been valued as one of the more affordable, everyday members of the quartz family. In crystal tradition it's linked to the root chakra and is often reached for by people who want to feel steady, centered, and grounded through a busy day.

How to wear it
The sterling silver band offers a classic, comfortable everyday fit. Many people wear it whenever they want an understated grounding touchpoint — during a long workday, while traveling, or simply as a go-to daily piece — alongside the rest of our crystal rings and sterling silver jewelry.
Care & cleansing
Smoky quartz is durable and safe with everyday water exposure like hand-washing. Remove it before swimming in chlorinated water or applying lotions and perfumes to keep the facets bright, and give it an occasional wipe with a soft cloth to keep the faceting sparkling. To cleanse its energy, many people use running water, sunlight, sound, or smoke.
