Phantom Quartz Information
Phantom quartz forms through a unique process of crystallization. It occurs when a crystal grows over time, leaving behind impressions of previous mineral phases. As new layers of quartz develop, they encapsulate orange minerals, creating the striking phantoms. This fascinating process results in each stone displaying a unique pattern, making every bead special.
Fashion and Jewelry
Jewelry makers highly value phantom quartz beads for their distinct appearance and energetic properties. The eye-catching orange inclusions make these beads stand out in necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Designers often combine them with complementary stones, creating stunning pieces that express individuality. The enchanting look of phantom quartz attracts those seeking unique jewelry with a touch of natural artistry.
History, Mythology, and Symbolism
Phantom quartz carries a rich symbolic meaning. It represents spiritual growth, transformation, and connection to one’s inner self. Many believe the phantoms within the crystal act as reminders of past experiences and lessons learned. The orange inclusions are thought to enhance creativity and vitality, making phantom quartz a favored choice among artists and those seeking inspiration.
Mining, Production, and Applications
Phantom quartz is mined in various locations worldwide, with notable sources in Brazil and Madagascar. Miners extract this crystal from volcanic rock formations, where it naturally occurs. Once harvested, artisans cut and polish the quartz into beautiful beads. Jewelry makers utilize phantom quartz beads in diverse applications, creating stunning pieces that resonate with wearers. The combination of beauty and symbolism makes phantom quartz a sought-after material in the world of gemstones and jewelry.

Care Guide
- Cleaning: Gently clean the 18k gold-plated hooks and stainless steel components with a soft, dry cloth. To clean the semi-precious stone beads, use a damp cloth to wipe them and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions that could damage the gold plating or stones.
- Storage: Store the earrings in a dry, cool place, ideally in a fabric pouch or jewelry box. To avoid scratching, keep them separate from other jewelry items. Always store earrings away from extreme temperatures and humidity to preserve the gold plating and stone quality.
- Gold Plating Care: 18k gold plating is delicate and can wear off with prolonged exposure to moisture, lotions, perfumes, or harsh chemicals. To extend the life of the gold plating, remove earrings before swimming, showering, or applying beauty products. Clean the gold-plated hooks gently with a soft cloth to maintain their shine.
- Stainless Steel & Stone Bead Care:
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is durable and resistant to tarnish. However, it may still discolor if exposed to moisture or chemicals. Wipe stainless steel components regularly with a cloth to maintain their luster.
- Semi-Precious Stone Beads: Stone beads are naturally sturdy but may be sensitive to chemicals and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing them to perfumes, lotions, and cosmetics. Gently wipe them with a soft cloth to remove dirt, and avoid soaking them in water. Stones like lapis lazuli, turquoise, and agate can be particularly sensitive to prolonged moisture.
- General Durability: Handle with care to avoid impacts or abrasions that could damage the gold plating or stones. Avoid wearing the earrings during activities that involve excessive sweating, such as exercise, or sleeping, as this can cause wear over time.
Size Guide
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab. Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
