Humphrey Collier Pur Cross Damask

Cross pendant 23 mm made of folded Damascus steel

Damascus steels are said to have legendary properties. People talk about their incredible durability, films like 'Highlander' create an almost mystical flair around the 'folded' blades and even today we still hear that a knife made of damask can, for example, split nails without being damaged.

The starting material for producing Damascus steel is iron with different contents of accompanying elements such as carbon, manganese, silicon, etc. Damascus steel is folded, forged, folded again, forged, ...

This creates individual internal structures. Humphrey uses selected Damascus steels with appropriate patterns.
The results are optical delicacies that impress with their alternating dark and light lines. They are created by etching the surface because the different layers emerge here. Every piece of jewelry is unique and extraordinary.

The pendant has a pattern that is vaguely reminiscent of wood grain. These structures are continuous and can be re-etched at any time. Each pattern is unique and cannot (!) be influenced. The pattern is what it is. All edges are softened and feel soft.

The cross is a powerful symbol in our culture. We chose an isosceles cross. The meaning is only determined by the wearer and his connection to the cross. All edges are softened and feel soft.

Humphrey offers a 2-year guarantee if handled properly. However, the lifespan is unlimited. Most of the jewelry Humphrey ever produced is still worn.
