Triple Oh Herkimers

Herkimer Diamonds are NOT diamonds at all, but are quartz crystals that have been beautifully faceted AND double-terminated by Mother Nature, herself! Each stone is naturally faceted into 18 faces and 2 points (and you guessed itÉ no two are exactly the same).

They are found in Herkimer, New York and at close to 500 million years old, these little beauties earned ÒdiamondÓ in their name since they have a diamond-like geometrical shape.

I love the organic asymmetry of these stones and have paired them here on a trio of 14k Gold Filled hand-hammered or Oxidized Sterling Silver 3/8" hoops. Total drop is 1.75"
