The Little Crystal Lounge Rose Quartz Semi Polished Point

I was looking for a way to display and store my Rajput Spinning Bangle from Charlottes Web Jewellery and I came across The Little Crystal Lounge. This is a UK company which specialises in semi precious stones. My favourite stone for mounting jewellery on to use as a blog prop is rose quartz as I find that it complements rather than overpowers the piece I am photographing. I also want to store my bangle where I can see it otherwise I either forget to put it on or panic that I have lost it. I decided I wanted some type of rose quartz stone. Not too tall. My only criterion was that the diameter had to be 60ish mm or it wouldn’t sit on the stone. I found that not many sellers provide the dimensions of their products or provide photographs of the actual item. The Little Crystal Lounge does both so I purchased my stone from her shop. My point is 10” in diameter and weighs 258g. It cost £25 plus £3.75 shipping and arrived well packaged and in a timely manner. 

The stone is beautiful, it is just what I wanted and more. The stone’s inclusions and imperfections complement my bangle perfectly and it sits just right on the crystal. I love looking at the stone as o notice something new every time I look at it. I find it relaxing just to sit turning it in my hands. 

I didn’t purchase the stone for its magical properties but for anyone who is interested rose quartz is supposed to be a calming influence, boost feelings of romance, self love, compassion, friendship and also relieve stress. 

The Little Crystal Lounge was set up by Kate, a certified crystal healer. All her stones are ethically sourced. She sells from an online crystal shop based in Widnes. She has been interested in crystals for over 30 years but that interest really took off after she had a very stressful few years. She started meditating and incorporated crystals into the process. She has studied crystals healing, crystal healing for pets and chakra healing with crystals. She provides advice and free mini guides and unlike some shops I have browsed doesn’t just her use of crystals as a way to make money but as a way to help her and customers  through life. 

I would use her shop again - I love the rose quartz coasters and the price range for all her items seems very reasonable. 

I purchased the item myself and the views expressed in this blog are my own. 

Z for Accessorize: Rose Gold Semi Precious Stone & Chain Drop Earrings

Z for Accessorize Rose Gold Semi Precious Stone & Chain Drop Earrings are £12 (currently on sale for £9.60). They measure 1 1/2", are rose gold plated, have both a single tiny semi precious stone and cubic zirconia on each earring - just where the earring post is and have a butterfly fastening.  The chain fastens via a hoop which is hooked on to the earring post in front of the butterfly back.  They are very fiddly to both hook the chain in place and fasten the butterfly securely.  

These earrings had the potential to be my favourite earrings of all time. The rose gold and the chain makes them that little bit different to the thousands of earrings there are to choose from. They are elegant, eye catching, all the normal superlatives used to describe a great piece of jewellery, but the butterfly backings are too loose and fall off, making these earrings unwearable! I don't know if I got a faulty pair but I lost a backing the first time I put them on to try them out and even when I fasten the earrings on the tag the butterflies fall off, then the chain and finally they fall out of my ear. So a bit of a fail!
