Want to make a clear style statement? Do it with rock crystal quartz. The see-through stone—popularized in the ’60s and ’70s by David Webb, who paired the nonprecious gem with high-end materials like diamonds and platinum—is having a major moment. For pure sparkle, nothing outshines rock crystal, which brings a big look for a relatively small price. The choice, jewelry lovers, is clear.
