Herkimer Collection - A statement in texture and movement, this necklace layers gold and gunmetal organic-shaped, hand-hammered hoops in varying thicknesses and widths. Each gunmetal hoop is adorned with gold-wrapped Herkimer “diamonds,” their natural sparkle catching the light with every step. A bold, thicker oval chain transitions into a finer chain accented by a Herkimer connector, creating a flowing, mixed-metal design that feels both earthy and elevated.

*During the mid to late Victorian period, gold filled jewelry was very common and was manufactured in large numbers.
