Description
Since ancient history, the North Star has been a powerful symbol of guidance and direction for many cultures. These earrings are part of my series of North Star jewelry. Each piece features a Herkimer "Diamond" shining its light across the night sky, represented by black onyx. Herkimer "Diamonds" are actually quartz crystals from Herkimer, New York which are distinguished by their double-terminated points and their clarity. One of the Herkimers on these earrings has twin points on one side! I set the stones in sterling silver and include rubber ear backs and a polishing cloth. To prevent tarnishing, store your earrings in the heavy duty plastic bag provided, then shine the silver with the polishing cloth after wearing. I tuck the earrings into a starry jewelry pouch, then into a "night sky" gift box tied with a star-studded ribbon. I also make North Star pendants, sold separately in my Etsy shop.
