Herkimer Quartz Jewelry by Variance Objects

Herkimer Quartz Jewelry

Herkimer Quartz is naturally double terminated and often remarkably clear. We preserve its crystal points, inclusions and earth-formed geometry.

About Herkimer Quartz

True Herkimer Quartz comes from Herkimer County, New York, where we source the crystals used in our jewelry. Their naturally double-terminated form means much of the visual work has already been done by the earth.

Our role is to reveal and secure that structure without polishing away the features that make each crystal singular. Clarity, internal marks and natural points remain part of the final piece. Read more in our Herkimer Quartz article.

Sourced with Intention

Ethical Gemstones

We use Kimberly Process certified diamonds and traceable colored gems from trusted, family-run sources.

Recycled Precious Metals

Most of our precious metals are recycled, but not all. Our unique handmade process lends itself to less waste and less toxicity.

Respect for the Rough

All our colored gemstones are cut from rough stones. We highlight the rough beauty of each stone with a focus on color variation, rough formation and natural textures.
