Carrying something invisible, showing up anyway, making light that nobody stopped to notice.Maybe you stopped waiting for someone to notice.
Choose your size. Lumen comes in sizes 5 to 13, including select half sizes, with very limited availability in every size. Once a size is gone, it’s gone.
Let the crystal choose you. Your Herkimer is a surprise. For every ring, I choose the crystal that sits best in its setting and hand-set it myself at my bench in the Ship Shop Studio.No two Herkimers are alike. Each one grew in its own pocket of stone, with its own shape, sparkle, and tiny inclusions. Your ring is one of a kind because your crystal is.
Lumen is a sterling silver Herkimer diamond ring made for the hand that does everything. Leaves inspired by the Alaska rainforest outside my studio wrap the band; each one is handmade. At the top, a natural Herkimer sits high in four prongs, letting light reach it from every side. Move your hand, and it follows you, catching the light, then catching it again.
This is the ring for the one who has been the steady light for everyone else. Wear it into the long days and the quiet ones. Every time you glance down, there it is: a small piece of light that belongs only to you.
Made to Order, Hand-Set at My Bench Every Lumen ring is made to order, and I set each Herkimer by hand. Order by Tuesday, December 1 for holiday shipping. Holiday orders ship December 10th.
A Herkimer diamond is a naturally double-terminated quartz crystal from Herkimer County, New York. Despite the name, it isn’t a true diamond. It earned the nickname by coming out of the rock already sparkling, with a point on each end and 18 natural faces that no one cut or polished.
The rock these crystals grow in formed in a shallow sea about 500 million years ago. Many Herkimers carry tiny time capsules inside, like specks of ancient carbon or a bubble of water sealed in while the crystal grew.
Herkimers are also quartz, the same mineral that keeps time inside a quartz watch. Quartz is piezoelectric, which means it makes a tiny electric charge when squeezed.
That’s only the beginning. My full guide covers why some Herkimers glow under a blacklight, how they compare to diamonds, and how to choose one that’s meant for your hand.
Lumen is limited because ring-worthy Herkimers are limited. Crystals with the clarity, size, and shape I look for don’t come in endless supply. Once these stones and sizes are gone, the drop closes.
When will my ring ship? Lumen rings are made to order. Orders placed by Tuesday, December 1 ship by December 10th.
