Herkimer Diamonds are beautiful double-terminated quartz crystals found in Herkimer, New York. Incredibly, these phenomenal gemstones are close to five hundred million years old. The crystals are magnificent works of nature, found in the rock, having a diamond-like geometrical shape.
Each stone is different, with varying amount of black hydrocarbon inclusions that give them their "salt-and-pepper" look.
Diamond is traditionally the birthstone of April. Though Herkimer Diamond is quartz, not diamond, its brilliant, transparent diamond-like beauty makes it well suited as an April birthstone.
Each ring was carefully handcrafted with a small herkimer diamond point and electroformed in 100% copper.
All electroformed jewelry includes a copper care sheet as well as a jewelry polishing cloth to keep your piece looking its finest.
