Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show someone you care, and we know how tricky it can be to find a gift that feels meaningful. Flowers and chocolates are lovely, but they do not last. If you want something thoughtful and timeless, rose quartz jewellery is a wonderful choice. Known as the stone of love, rose quartz has been cherished for thousands of years and is still as special today.
Here at Hepburn & Hughes, we love creating pieces that carry both beauty and meaning. Our rose quartz collection is full of designs that are perfect for Valentine’s Day gifts (and are also great for a 5th wedding anniversary gift).

A Little History and Some Legendary Romance
Rose quartz has a long and romantic history. It was used as early as 7000 BC in Mesopotamia, carved into beads and talismans. The Egyptians loved it too, believing it could keep the skin soft and youthful. Over the centuries, rose quartz became closely associated with love, trust and emotional connection.
Greek and Roman myths tell that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, gave rose quartz to humanity to encourage kindness and affection. Another story says that her blood and the blood of her lover, Adonis, stained the stone pink, linking it forever to romance and devotion.
By the Middle Ages, couples were giving rose quartz as a token of trust and commitment. Today, it is still a perfect symbol of love.
