Herkimer Diamond Silver Stud Earrings

15mm long x 15mm wide

Base metal is 925 sterling silver plated in 2 micron of 14k gold

Not actually diamonds, the "diamond" in their name is due to both their clarity and natural faceting - crystals possess double termination points and 18 total faces (six on each point, six around the center).

Gemstone Meaning
Known as the gemstone of high vibrational light, the Herkimer Diamond is a variety of amethyst and clear quartz. This powerful stone combines the serenity and crown chakra connection of Amethyst with the huge amplifying powers of Clear Quartz. With six sides and double termination, this gem can transmit powerful energy. The meaning of the Herkimer Diamond is to help with higher attunement, astral connections, and to get you in a place where you feel crystal clear about things.

Care Instructions
Every piece of Cathy Pope jewellery is handmade so it needs to be looked after carefully. Always protect your jewellery from sharp blows, scratching, chemicals, sunlight and heat/cold.

• Store your jewellery in a soft lined jewellery box or pouches. Try to keep pieces apart so they don’t rub together.
• Jewellery doesn't like moisture so avoid damp areas for your jewellery storage.
• Place a piece of chalk or moisture absorber (Damp Rid) inside the jewellery box to absorb any moisture.
• Clean your jewellery regularly, using a professional jewellery cleaning product. Always read the manufacturers instructions.
• Never go swimming wearing your jewellery, chlorine in swimming pools can cause damage to all metals and will erode gold jewellery.
• Avoid wearing while cleaning, gardening or performing sports activities as perspiration will affect the plating.
• Be aware of tarnish which may occur as a result of oxidation, caused by the interaction of silver or gold plated jewellery with certain elements such as oxygen or sulphur as well as with certain acids.
• Over time gold vermeil/plating will rub off and fade a bit, especially more so when it’s rubbing against surfaces. This is normal wear and tear.
