Description

Natural raw Herkimer diamond set in copper, on copper chain.

Material

Natural gemstone and copper.

The 12-14mm raw gemstone is set in copper.

The solid copper chain (2mm wide) can extend from 40cm to 50cm and has an S clasp. The gemstone pendant cannot be removed from the chain.

All chains are rose gold plated to preserve the finish. The plating will wear off in time, revealing the natural copper colour underneath. Copper is a natural antibacterial agent, and the wearing of copper jewellery is considered to have a therapeutic effect on the human body.

Copper can potentially turn the skin green as it reacts with the chemicals in some skins. A coat of clear nail polish will prevent this.

About Herkimer Diamond

About Herkimer Diamond:

Herkimer diamonds are beautiful double terminated quartz crystals found in Herkimer, New York. Incredibly, these phenomenal gemstones are close to 500 million years old. The crystals are magnificent works of nature, and are found in the rock, naturally faceted, each having eighteen facets and two points. They are unlike real diamonds that have to be cut by man to give it its facets.

The Mohawk Indians held these crystals in high esteem and used them to make amulets.

Birthstone: April

Anniversary stone: 10^th

Symbolism:

The Herkimer diamond is known as the attunement stone, as it is believed that it can assist one in attuning with another person, the environment or an activity. It is also thought to energize, enliven and promote creativity, while it also represents ease, peace and calm in uncomfortable or fearful situations. Some believe the Herkimer diamond is effective in promoting dream recall.

We recommend these methods for cleaning:

Copperbrite: Our preferred option for cleaning is Copperbrite, which you can find available here. This specialized solution effectively restores the shine of your copper jewellery.
Home Remedies: You'll also find numerous home remedies online for cleaning copper jewellery. However, please ensure they are safe for jewellery and won't damage the pieces.
