Herkimer Diamond Stud Earrings

Regular price $79.00
Sale price $79.00 Regular price
  • Authentic Herkimer Diamonds: Mined in New York, these natural, AA-grade quartz gems are eye-clean and full of sparkle.
  • Unique Raw Stones: Naturally faceted double-terminated quartz points, uncut and straight from the mine, ensuring every pair is one of a kind.
  • Handmade Prong Settings: Designed to highlight the raw beauty of the stones.
  • Hand-Hammered Circles: Sterling silver circles (11mm) add a delicate, textured touch.
  • Lightweight and Comfortable: Weighing 3 grams per pair, perfect for everyday wear.
  • Approximate Stone Size: 6mm x 9mm, with natural variations adding charm.

These are handmade with authentic, natural Herkimer Diamonds mined in New York. Herkimer Diamonds are double-terminated quartz points, naturally faceted and uncut after mining, making each one truly unique. I created prong settings for these raw gems and set them atop hand-hammered circles. These earrings are dainty and perfect for everyday wear. The circles measure just under a half inch across (11mm), and the gems are approximately 6mm x 9mm. Expect slight variations in the stones, as they are completely natural and unaltered from how they come from the mine. Total weight for the pair is 3 grams.

1.25" Hammer Faceted Hoops

Regular price $63.00
Sale price $63.00 Regular price

1.25” Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings
 * Diameter: 1.25 inches (32 mm)
 * Width: 2.5 mm
 * Weight: 5.4 grams per pair (approximately 2.7 grams per earring)
 * Material: Argentium sterling silver, nickel-free
 * Closure: Post with push-back fastening
 * Hand-forged and polished to a high shine

To create these unique hoops, I start with a thick piece of sterling silver wire, which I carefully hand-hammer to achieve a faceted texture. Each hammer tap is counted and placed intentionally, creating a sparkling effect across the surface. After texturing, I polish the silver to a high shine, allowing these hoops to beautifully catch and reflect light. The high-polished surface gives these hoops an eye-catching shine, and the slightly larger size makes them a beautiful statement for daily wear. Made with Argentium Sterling Silver and entirely nickel-free, they’re lightweight yet substantial, measuring 32 mm across and weighing 5.4 grams per pair.  With their post closure and secure push-back, these hoops are easy to wear every day and pair effortlessly with any outfit. Made with heavier silver, they offer both durability and quality that will last. Each pair is individually hand-forged, so expect unique hammer marks and slight variations that make every set one-of-a-kind.

Sale price $54.00 Regular price
  • Materials: Baroque freshwater pearls and solid sterling silver.
  • Pearl Shape: Unique, organic baroque pearls full of beautiful luster.
  • Earring Size: 1.5" total length (including ear wire), circles measure 0.9" (22mm) across.
  • Weight: 5.2 grams per pair.

These unique earrings were handmade with gorgeous baroque freshwater pearls and solid sterling silver. The pearls are full of beautiful luster, and their distinctive shape adds to their natural charm. I carefully matched the pearls into pairs as best as possible, since each one is a bit different, and created a sterling silver circle frame around each to tie them together. The circles are hand-hammered asymmetrically, adding to the organic nature of the design. These earrings are lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for everyday wear. The total length, including the French hook ear wire, is 1.5", with circles measuring 0.9" (22mm) across. The drop from the ear is just over an inch long, and the earrings weigh 5.2 grams per pair.

This bold silver circle necklace is a standout piece, handcrafted with thick sterling silver wire for a solid, substantial feel. Measuring 2" in diameter, the circle features a hand-hammered texture that creates an almost faceted appearance, adding a beautiful sparkle. This is hammer textured around the edge of the circle as well, and the piece is polished to a high reflective shine to catch the light from every angle.

Iolite and Wrapped Silver Pendant

Regular price $117.00
Sale price $117.00 Regular price
  • Materials: Rose cut Iolite gemstone and solid sterling silver.
  • Pendant Size: 1.1" tall, 0.9" wide at the widest point.
  • Weight: 6 grams.
  • Bail Size: Accommodates up to a 3mm chain.

This one-of-a-kind pendant was handmade with a gorgeous rose-cut Iolite gemstone and solid sterling silver. I created a custom bezel setting for the stone and accented it with sterling silver wire, which I wrapped and sculpted into a bail as well as a nest around the gemstone. The polished silver behind the stone allows light to shine through and reflect back, creating a beautiful glowing sparkle. After polishing to a high shine, I carefully oxidized the silver to bring out the detail and dimension in the wire wrapping. This pendant does not include a chain, but it is pictured with our 2mm sterling silver cable chain, which is a perfect match. Click here to view the chain and select a length. The bail accommodates up to a 3mm chain and ends. The pendant measures 1.1" tall and 0.9" across at its widest point, and it weighs 6 grams.
