Herkimer Diamonds, native Herkimer region of Upstate NY, have a rustic quality that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Mined only hours outside of NYC (others can only be found in Tibet), it’s a wonder these raw crystals of history aren’t swarming around the necks of fashionistas, wanting to get the ‘look’ of real raw diamonds, all over the globe. I love the texture & one-of-a-kind shaping each necklace holds; attainable for any gal to get her hands on these (faux) diamonds for under $100.

I went on a field trip to Herkimer Diamonds in elementary school!! It was the best ever, and I still have some diamonds!!
