Should I Wear a Rose Quartz Bracelet on the Left or Right Hand?
Rose quartz is associated with unconditional love in crystal lore, but the supplied evidence does not establish a left- or right-wrist rule.
Choose whichever wrist you prefer: the supplied evidence does not establish a traditional left- or right-wrist recommendation for rose quartz. It supports rose quartz’s association with unconditional love in crystal lore, not a claim that wrist placement directs that energy inward or outward.

What does the evidence support about rose quartz lore?
Rose quartz is traditionally described as the stone of unconditional love. The supplied lore also associates it with opening and steadying the heart; these are symbolic associations, not established physical effects.
The supplied evidence does not explain a left-receives, right-gives tradition for rose quartz. It therefore cannot establish which wrist to choose based on intention, handedness or gender.
How can I choose which wrist to wear it on?
As a present-day styling suggestion, choose whichever wrist you prefer rather than treating either side as a requirement of the supported lore.

FAQ
Does wearing rose quartz on the right hand cancel out its traditional meaning?
The supplied lore associates rose quartz with unconditional love without specifying a wrist. It does not establish that wearing it on the right changes or cancels that association.
What if I just like how rose quartz looks — does the wrist still matter?
If you are wearing rose quartz purely as jewelry, choose whichever wrist you prefer. There is no need to adopt an unsupported wrist-placement explanation for that personal choice.
