These elegant Herkimer diamond icicle earrings are oh so pretty.
 
Each pair is handmade in my Somerset studio using six natural Herkimer diamonds and a pair of contemporary 8cm sterling silver threader-style earrings on cable chain.
 
The Herkimer diamonds are a lovely quality and each stone is approximately 6mm x 3mm to 10mm x 5mm in size - they are beautifully cut to make them extremely sparkly.
 
Herkimer diamonds are not real diamonds, but in fact quartz crystals from the Herkimer region of America - but when you see how they twinkle with mirror-like shine and rainbow sparkles, it is obvious why they got their name! Each bright, sparkly stone is naturally different in shape, size, and colour, but they are all equally beautiful and make wonderful jewellery.
 
The threader-style earrings are lightweight and comfortable, and are perfect for dressing up or down due to their classic elegance - they'd really suit any occasion, from a night out to a wedding!
 
Every piece of Beryl & Silver jewellery comes displayed on a branded backing card and is delicately placed in a 100% natural cotton drawstring bag to keep your treasures looking their best.
