Princess smokey quartz

That’s a brilliant question. This ring stands out because it blends bold design with refined luxury. The princess-cut smoky quartz is the star. Unlike round or oval cuts, the square shape gives it a crisp, modern edge. It’s also unusual to see smoky quartz treated like this — most jewellers save fancy cuts and diamond halos for sapphires or emeralds. So when you slip on this ring, you’re wearing something that’s truly different.

But there’s more. The deep, earthy tones of smoky quartz create a subtle glamour. In sunlight, it flashes hints of gold and honey. Under soft indoor lights, it shifts to warm mocha. The natural diamonds around the stone catch even more light, pulling attention straight to your hand.

We also crafted this ring with an open under-gallery. It lets light flood underneath the gem, so it glows more brilliantly. Plus, tiny diamonds sparkle under the quartz. That means the ring looks stunning from every angle. All of this comes together in solid 18kt yellow gold — chosen not just for its beauty, but for its lasting strength.

If you want a statement piece that’s elegant yet daring, this princess smoky quartz ring couldn’t be more perfect. It’s jewellery that speaks quietly but leaves a powerful impression.

Absolutely — and we designed it that way. Smoky quartz ranks a solid 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness. That means it’s tough enough to handle daily life, including all those times you’re tapping away at your phone or typing up reports.

We also set it securely in strong 18kt yellow gold. Those prongs hold the stone tightly in place, while the sturdy band is built to withstand years of wear. However, like any fine jewellery, it appreciates a little care. We always suggest taking your ring off if you’re gardening, lifting weights, or working with harsh cleaning chemicals. Chlorine, saltwater, and abrasive surfaces can eventually dull or scratch even the hardest gemstones.

When you’re not wearing it, store it in a fabric-lined box or a soft pouch. This prevents it from rubbing against other harder gems, like sapphires or diamonds. Looking after your ring in these small ways means it will stay gorgeous for decades. It’s a piece designed to be lived in, loved, and eventually passed down.

Great question. The beauty of smoky quartz is its incredible versatility. That deep brown with golden undertones works with almost any wardrobe. For daytime, slip it on with light neutrals like beige, cream, or olive. The earthy gemstone will pop beautifully without feeling flashy.

Heading to a dinner date or cocktail event? This ring loves darker shades like navy, black, or rust. It pairs especially well with silky fabrics and soft knits, adding just the right amount of drama. Want to lean into full glamour? Combine it with our diamond hoop earrings or stack it with a diamond eternity band. The extra sparkle complements the smoky quartz without competing.

Also, don’t be afraid to mix gemstones. This ring looks stunning alongside champagne diamonds, citrines, or even yellow sapphires. Because smoky quartz is a neutral, it plays well with lots of other colours. It’s truly your go-anywhere, style-it-any-way statement piece.

Looking after this ring is simple. To keep it gleaming, soak it in warm water with a tiny drop of mild dish soap for about 10 minutes. Then use a super-soft toothbrush to gently clean around the quartz, under the gallery, and over the diamonds. Rinse well under lukewarm water and pat it dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid tissues or paper towels — they can scratch gold over time.

We also recommend storing your ring separately. A soft-lined jewellery box or pouch is ideal. That keeps it safe from harder gemstones that might cause small abrasions.

About twice a year, bring it into our Sydney boutique. We’ll give it a professional steam clean and carefully check the prongs. That way, you can be sure the diamonds and quartz stay perfectly secure. Book your appointment anytime — we love helping keep your jewellery in its best shape.
