Product Descriptions
These Salt & Pepper Herkimer Diamond Stud Earrings are one-of-a-kind Herkimer diamond earrings in warm 14K yellow gold vermeil — raw, natural Herkimer quartz crystals with cosmic salt-and-pepper inclusions, each stone unique.
Raw, cosmic, one of a kind
Herkimer “diamonds” are naturally double-terminated quartz crystals with a diamond-like geometric shape, prized for their raw, celestial look. These are set in warm 14K yellow gold vermeil, and the salt-and-pepper inclusions give each stone a galaxy-like character. Because they are natural and raw, every stone is different — color and pattern vary by nature. Our Herkimer diamond guide tells the full story.
Herkimer quartz, not a true diamond
An honest note: a Herkimer diamond is a variety of quartz, not a true diamond — the name comes from its diamond-like clarity and shape. We list it as Herkimer quartz because that is what it is. See how it compares in our Herkimer vs salt-and-pepper diamond guide, and explore the family in our Herkimer diamond jewelry collection.
