Humphrey Collier Cube

Colored gemstones 5x5 mm, Princess cut, cord 0.5 mm

The Cube - pendant is elegant yet wearable every day. It is delicate, comfortable to wear, and the colored gemstone is hard to miss. It emphasizes the personality of the wearer. The outer surfaces are matte. The inner surfaces are polished, reflecting a lot of light. All edges are softened and feel smooth. Humphrey uses nickel-free stainless steel. The weight is perfectly balanced – thus, the stone always faces forward.

The colored gemstone is held by the force (tension) of the setting. It seems to be floating. To ensure this is secure, two notches in the shape of the colored gemstone have been made using computer-controlled machines.

Humphrey has perfected this setting technique since the mid-90s and offers a 2-year guarantee on the secure hold of the gemstone with proper care. However, the lifespan is unlimited. Most of the jewelry ever produced by Humphrey is still being worn.

The integrated collar is a delicate 0.5 mm stainless steel cable that fits perfectly around the neck. The clasp is equipped with a push button, making it very easy to open and close – and it closes securely.

On this necklace, the pendant is fixed and prevents the clasp from turning forward.

Humphrey only uses very good quality. However, certain variations in color cannot be prevented. It is nature!

Topaz Blue and White:

The topaz gets its name from an island in the Red Sea, which was called Topazos in ancient times. In fact, a different mineral, olivine, was mined there, which was long confused with topaz. Another explanation of the name traces back to the Sanskrit word Tapas, which means "fire" or "brightness."

The topaz has been known for at least 2000 years and is one of the gemstones that form the foundations of the twelve gates to the city of God in the New Jerusalem. These stones were meant to serve as a symbol of beauty and brilliance and as a defense against enemies.

The colors of topaz range from yellow, light blue, light green, yellow-brown, reddish-brown, red, violet, and colorless. Humphrey exclusively uses blue and white topaz. Many topaz stones are color-treated. This is also true for our blue topaz, as otherwise, they would command enormous prices.

.With a rating of 8 on the 10-point Mohs scale, topaz is one of the hardest of all gemstones – only diamond, sapphire, and ruby are harder.

Rhodolite Red:

The rhodolite is the term (trade name) for a mixed crystallization between pyrope and almandine. Its name comes from the Greek "rhodos" and means something like rose, rose stone. It was named so because of its purplish-red color.

The rhodolite is a popular red variety of garnet. Its color ranges from pink to dark red with a fine violet or raspberry undertone.

Thanks to its excellent hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, the stone is suitable for jewelry of all kinds.

Citrine Yellow:

The Greeks coined the name of the stone. They gave it the name Citrine, which means lemon stone. They came up with the name because a Citrine is light yellow like a lemon. Romans wore Citrine on their chest to protect themselves from evil eyes. In the Middle Ages, Citrine was attributed a special role. It was revered as a sun stone that was supposed to grant the wearer eternal life.

Citrine is the yellow-colored variety of quartz. The name is derived from the Latin 'citrus' for lemon and refers to the lemon-yellow color of this quartz variety. The most sought after are either golden yellow or orange citrines, which then have specific names depending on the color classification, such as Madeira citrine (intensely orange-brandy colored) or Palmeira citrine (intensely orange-amber colored). The general rule is: the more intense the color, the more expensive it is, with the clarity of citrine definitely needing to be in the best range. Citrine has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Amethyst Violet:

The amethyst is a stone that exudes a special fascination due to its dark violet color. The word violet means tremendous strength. This color appears in nature wherever a special power and energy is present.

The name of the amethyst comes from the ancient Greeks. They believed that the stone protected against drunkenness. According to an old legend, the amethyst was a nymph whom Bacchus, the god of wine, had fallen in love with. However, the nymph did not reciprocate this love, and his attempts to approach her were blocked. She asked the goddess Diana for help, and she transformed her into a gemstone. When Bacchus realized that he had lost his love, he poured his best wine over the stone, which then changed color. This gave the stone a protective effect against drunkenness.

Amethyst in gemstone quality is a popular and widely used gemstone. The purple color of the amethyst ranges from a very light, slightly pinkish hue to a very dark violet. Dark violet stones are considered particularly valuable. The amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale.

Tourmaline Pink and Green:

The name tourmaline is derived from the Sinhalese word "tura mali." Translated, it means "stone with mixed colors."

An old legend from Egypt says that a tourmaline traveled along the long path from the Earth's interior up to the sun over a rainbow. Along the way, it absorbed all the colors of the rainbow. That is why it is still called the "gemstone of the rainbow" today. Tourmaline comes in more than 50 shades, ranging from colorless to pink, red, yellow, brown, green, and blue, all the way to black. A single crystal can often display multiple colors.

"Only pink and green tourmalines are used at Humphrey."

Thanks to its excellent hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, the stone is suitable for jewelry of all kinds.
