Talisman pendant - Herkimer diamond in the nest of gold
Talisman pendant made with sparkling, natural, uncut Herkimer diamond* embraced in a gold net, swinging on the delicate gold chain. Gold-filled* crocheted wire net is revealing this amazingly clear gem on one side and showing its inside. Herkimer diamonds naturally have 18 facets (6 sides) and two terminations.
I use water clear, most beautiful stones where the cracks or flaws are multiplied by all the facets to emphasize the natural beauty of the crystal.
Please, chose between gold filled, 9ct, and 18ct gold when ordering.

* Herkimer diamond is a generic name for a double-terminated quartz crystal discovered within exposed outcrops of dolostone in and around Herkimer County, New York and the Mohawk River Valley in late 18 century.
