Rough shape earrings use gemstones in their natural uncut state, preserving original crystal formations, surface textures, and irregular edges that occur during geological formation.
Durability depends on the specific mineral's Mohs hardness rating, not its cut. A rough quartz at Mohs 7 remains as scratch-resistant as a polished quartz of equal hardness.
Jewelers use adjustable prong settings, custom bezels shaped to each stone's contour, or wrapped wire techniques that grip the stone's natural angles securely.
