Wild and utterly captivating, these gold earrings are celebrations of nature's own craftsmanship, each featuring three raw Herkimer quartz crystals. Mined exclusively in Herkimer County, New York, these million-year-old treasures are nicknamed “diamonds” for their natural diamond-like facets, sparkle, and clarity. Their glassy clarity holds tiny inclusions, like captured memory of ancient air, each quartz shimmering with its natural 18 facets catching light from every angle. Against the raw crystals, the gold is shaped by hand to cradle what time and nature created, marrying the elemental with the intentional. Untamed yet refined, these earrings evoke the quiet thrill of discovering something unique and rare.
There are two metal choices:
• Solid 14k yellow gold.
• Solid 18k yellow gold.
The Herkimer quartz are uncut and maintain their natural double-terminated, 18-faceted form. As such, there are no two exactly alike and each pair will slightly vary.
