Herkimer diamonds are quartz crystals first discovered within exposed dolomite in the late 18th century by geologists in Herkimer County, New York and the Mohawk River Valley. They aren’t actually diamonds but are called that because of their clarity and well-formed faces. Here, the faceted stones are highlighted by the smoothness of their gold prong settings on these distinctive stud earrings.
