2.62 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight White Herkimer Pair from Herkimer County (USA)

This matched pair of Herkimers presents as marquise shaped, transparent quartz specimens, weighing 1.25 carats and 1.37 carats respectively. The stones measure 10.02 x 4.97 x 3.70 millimeters and 10.07 x 5.03 x 3.79 millimeters, and are executed in a mixed brilliant cut that balances facet patterning for both scintillation and depth. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which yields a clean appearance under normal viewing and allows light to travel through the pavilion with minimal interruption. Color intensity is colorless, and the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and a lively return of white light. There has been no enhancement to these natural Herkimer specimens, and their documented origin is Herkimer County, USA. The close correspondence in size, weight, and cutting proportions makes this pair well suited for matched applications where symmetry is important.

For high fashion statement earrings, these marquise Herkimers offer an elongated silhouette that reads as modern and architectural when set vertically, and as elegant and elongating when positioned as drops that follow the line of the cheek and neck. The mixed brilliant faceting produces a balance of sparkle and windowed clarity, making these stones effective as central motifs in minimalist metal frameworks or as focal points within layered couture designs. Designers can exploit the streamlined marquise outline for linear settings, linked compositions, or paired motifs that create mirror symmetry. The colorless tone ensures compatibility with a wide range of metal palettes, from cool white metals that emphasize brightness, to warm alloys that introduce contrast and depth. Sourced and supplied by The Natural Gemstone Company, this pair is presented with full disclosure of grading and origin, suitable for atelier jewelers and design houses seeking authentic natural material for runway worthy earring designs that require both optical impact and reliable matching.
