Rough pendants feature uncut stones with natural surfaces, edges, and crystal formations. Polished pendants use stones that have been cut, shaped, and buffed to a smooth finish, removing the original texture.
Durability depends on the stone's Mohs hardness rating. Quartz varieties rate 7 and handle daily wear well, while softer stones like turquoise at 5-6 require more careful handling to prevent surface damage.
Settings are designed around each stone's irregular shape using bezels, prongs, or wire wrapping techniques. The .925 sterling silver is shaped to follow natural contours while holding the stone securely.
