Elements Studs with Herkimer Diamonds
$ 260.00
The everyday staple.
Sophisticated, sexy and unique, the perfect amount of bling while still remaining an earth mama at heart.
Herkimer quartz “diamonds” are extra special because of their double termination — a natural point at both ends. While this type of quartz can be found in other places, only gems from Herkimer county, New York, are known as “Herkimer Diamonds.” New York is one of the most common sources, and that’s where we prefer to get ours. The stones that come out of the ground are already faceted and crystal-clear, some displaying flecks of black and gray carbon.
- Herkimer diamonds*
- 14k recycled yellow gold
- Hand set in handmade settings

Wear your jewelry often. When you're not wearing it, carefully hang necklaces or store jewelry in a hard box to avoid bending and tangling.
You can clean most jewelry with soap and water with a toothbrush, or a jewelry ultra sonic.
To prevent tarnish, use a polishing cloth or a liquid dip (read instructions first if cleaning stones and never dip pearls).
Or you can always send your piece back to be cleaned.
We source first from local and then from American companies. We take pride in knowing where our metal and stones come from, maintaining relationships with miners, stone cutters and companies that run transparent supply chains as much as possible.
