Smoky Quartz Faceted Arc Ring
Smoky quartz is a brown-to-gray, translucent variety of quartz colored by natural irradiation. Traditionally associated with grounding and calm. This adjustable arc ring sets a small faceted smoky quartz stone into a crescent-shaped band, available in gold, silver, or black rhodium tone. Each stone's exact tone varies naturally, so no two rings are identical.

Meaning & history
Smoky quartz has long been valued for its warm, earthy tone and its link to the root chakra in crystal tradition, where it's associated with grounding and a settled, steady mind. Set in a modern arc band, this ring pairs that grounding association with an everyday wearable form — see more in quartz or browse our full rings collection.
How to wear it
This ring has an open, adjustable band, so it fits a range of finger sizes — gently open or close the arc to adjust. Many people wear it as an everyday grounding piece; because it's adjustable, avoid repeatedly over-bending the band to preserve its shape.
Care & cleansing
The smoky quartz stone is hard and water-safe for a brief rinse, but the plated metal band is best kept dry — remove before washing hands, showering, or swimming, and store it away from perfume and lotion to protect the gold, silver, or black rhodium finish. To cleanse the stone's energy, many people use sound or a smoke pass with sacred herbs rather than water.
