Hematoid Quartz, Two Ways — New Pendants by Mikkel Brøgger
Some stones arrive like a spark. Hematoid Quartz, also called Fire Quartz, carries threads of red and orange hematite suspended in clear quartz, a natural collage of ember tones. Mikkel Brøgger has cut two one-of-a-kind pendants from a single dramatic slab, pairing each with a handmade sterling silver setting and a soft Japanese cotton cord by MOKUBA. Same stone, two cuts—two moods.
The Two Pieces
Cabochon Cut — Soft Glow
A flat slab cabochon that feels serene and strong, emphasizing color and flow rather than facets.
Stone: Hematoid Quartz (approx. 140.07 ct)
Mount: 4-prong, closed back, sterling silver (925)
Pendant size: ~60 × 25 mm (about 2½")
Cord: Japanese cotton by MOKUBA, length: 60 cm / 23.5"
Palette: Orange, yellow, red, black inclusions
Details: One-of-a-kind; handmade in New York City
Vibe: Warm, painterly, luminous—perfect against knitwear or a crisp white shirt.
Faceted Cut — Bright Flicker
A flat slab faceted cut that catches the light—same fire, more flash.
Stone: Hematoid Quartz (approx. 140.07 ct)
Mount: 4-prong, closed back, sterling silver (925)
Pendant size: ~55 × 25 mm (about 2½" tall)
Cord: Japanese cotton by MOKUBA, length: 60 cm / 23.5"
Palette: Orange, yellow, red, black inclusions
Details: One-of-a-kind; handmade in New York City
Vibe: Graphic and modern—plays beautifully with tailoring or an evening slip.
Why Hematoid Quartz
Natural drama: Hematite inclusions sketch abstract patterns—every angle is different.
Day-to-night ease: Sterling silver keeps it versatile; cotton cord adds relaxed elegance.
Collector appeal: Two cuts from the same material—sisters, not twins.
How to Wear
Layer the cabochon over a turtleneck; let the color read as a soft field.
Pair the faceted pendant with a sharp blazer; let the planes throw sparks.
Swap the cord for a silver chain when you want a dressier silhouette.
Care Notes
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners and prolonged heat; store pendants separately to protect the surfaces and settings.
