Humphrey Creole Diamond Damask

Damascus stainless steel, 7x14mm, 2 brilliants. á 0.06ct.Tw-vs

Damascus steels are said to have legendary properties. People talk about their incredible durability, films like 'Highlander' create an almost mystical flair about the 'folded' blades and even today we still hear that a knife made of damascus should be able to 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 earrings have 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.

The hoop earrings are eccentric (thicker at the top, thinner at the bottom) so that the stone does not pierce the inside and the hole in the ear is nicely covered. All edges are softened and feel soft.

The spring (patent clasp) is integrated into the earrings and cannot be lost. The weight is low. This means that these earrings are also suitable for sensitive ears.

The diamonds are held by the force (tension) of the earring rail. They seem to float in the earrings. To ensure this is safe, two notches in the shape of the diamond are made in the rail using computer-controlled machines.

Humphrey has perfected this setting technique since the mid-1990s and offers a 2-year guarantee that the gemstone will be held securely if handled properly. However, the lifespan is unlimited. Most of the jewelry Humphrey ever produced is still worn.

Diamonds:

The 4 C's are important when it comes to diamonds. Diamonds are assessed at 10x magnification:

- Carat (weight): The diamonds in this piece of jewelry weigh 0.12 ct. (2.5 mm diameter each)

- Color: The diamonds we use are F or Top Wesselton color

- Clearity: Humphrey generally uses VS stones. VS stands for very small inclusions or very small inclusions that can hardly be seen with the naked eye

- Cut: This is the most important C for us. This is where it is decided whether the diamond sparkles in normal light or is poor. Manufacturers often save money here. Humphrey only uses brilliant cut diamonds.

Humphrey makes sure to only buy diamonds from suppliers who follow the United Nations Resolutions. That's why we can guarantee that our diamonds are not affected by any conflicts.

A diamond brings joy for many days and for a lifetime!
