Humphrey Ear Stud Cube Color Stone

Colored gemstones 4x4mm, princess cut, patent stainless steel

ie Cube – Earrings are elegant yet suitable for everyday wear. They are delicate, comfortable to wear, and cannot be overlooked due to the colored gemstones. They emphasize the personality of the wearer.

The outer surfaces are frosted. The inner surfaces are polished and thus reflect a lot of light. All edges are softened and feel smooth. Humphrey uses nickel-free stainless steel. The weight is minimal, suitable even for sensitive ears, and the earring patent is perfectly balanced. Thus, the stones always face forward beautifully and do not tilt.

The earring patent – called O-Pop by us – was developed and protected by Humphrey. It contains a spring inside, whose secure fit does not change even after years. The size is optimal, allowing the piece to be held well, but not too large to be uncomfortably noticeable. A spherical recess ensures that the pin of the earring automatically finds its way into the hole.

The colored gemstones are held by the force (tension) of the earring shank. They seem to float in the jewelry. To ensure this is secure, two notches in the shape of the colored gemstone have been incorporated into the shank 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.

Lolith Blue Violet:

"According to an investigation, the Iolite, also known as Cordierite, is said to have been used for navigation during the Viking Age due to its ability to make polarized light visible, even in overcast skies. This so-called sunstone is known from legendary traditions."

Iolite is a derivation from the Greek "ion" and means something like violet.

The predominant color of Iolite is deep blue to blue-violet.

With a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5, the Iolite belongs to the hard minerals.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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, 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 also applies to 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.
