Extra Large Herkimer diamond earrings, Herkimer earrings, cheapest Herkimer studs, Raw stone earrings, Crystal earrings, Raw diamond earrings
With this listing, you get to choose the exact pair of earrings you would like to receive! To help give you the best idea of what they will look like, I take pictures of the earrings from different angles and create a collage photo with the number assigned to the earrings in the middle. Each of these, extra large quartz crystal studs are made from stones that are 9-16mm from tip to tip. The exact size of each stone is listed below and I carefully measure each stone with precise calipers. Please note, the origin of these stones is Pakistan not NY.
Please message me if you'd like more photos or have questions regarding the pair of earrings you are interested in.
Each stone is carefully wrapped with 14k gold filled or solid .935 silver wire to turn them into wearable bits of natural beauty. The wire goes straight through the stone, so you can be sure it is secure!
Each Quartz Crystal is unique and one-of-a-kind. They all are unique shapes, naturally faceted by nature and not with tools. They grew with their own imperfections, arriving to you just how they came out of the ground. Each one is different and no one stone perfectly matches another, but I handpick each one to find a pleasing pair. Because each stone is so different and unique however, for these X-Large stones I wanted you to be able to pick your favorite pair and to try to show you lots of angles of the stones. Select your favorite pair in the dropdown option.

-About the stone-
Double terminated 18 faceted quartz crystals were found in Herkimer NY in the 18th century and because of their clean natural facets and high clarity they were given the name "Herkimer Diamonds". Now similar beautiful 18 faceted crystals have been found in many places around the world (we believe our stones come from Pakistan). Technically only the stones found in a certain regain of NY can properly bear the name "Herkimer Diamond" (just like the use of the word "Champagne" is reserved in many countries only for sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France).

- About the metal -
Gold filled:
What is "Gold Filled"? Well it is a way to get the benefits of gold without the huge cost. Think of it as a heavy 14K Gold plating (5% of the metal by weight). This protects your jewelry from tarnishing, and allows your ears to just contact 14K Gold.
Silver:
We use solid 935 Argentium Silver for these earrings (93.5% solid silver). It is both more tarnish resistant than traditional sterling and also less likely to react to your ears, so double plus!
