Humphrey Collier Pur Cross Damask

Pendant Cross 23mm made of folded Damascus steel

Damascus steel is said to have legendary properties. People talk about its incredible durability, films like 'Highlander' create an almost mystical flair around the 'folded' blades and even today you hear that a knife made of Damascus can split nails without being damaged.

The raw material for the production of 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 suitable patterns.
The result is a visual treat that captivates with its alternating dark and light lines. They are created by etching the surface, because this is where the different layers emerge. Each piece of jewelry is unique and extraordinary.

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

The cross is a strong symbol in our culture. We have chosen an isosceles cross. The meaning is determined by the wearer and their connection to the cross. All edges are softened and feel smooth.

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