Humphrey Collier Cube

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

The Cube pendant is elegant but wearable every day. It is delicate, comfortable to wear, and not to be overlooked due to the colored gemstone. It emphasizes the personality of the wearer. The outer surfaces are matte. The inner surfaces are polished and thus reflect plenty of light. All edges are softened and feel smooth. Humphrey uses a nickel-free stainless steel. The weight is perfectly balanced – so the stone always faces forward.

The colored gemstone is held by the force (tension) of the setting. It seems to literally float. To ensure this, two notches in the shape of the colored gemstone are made using computer-controlled machines.

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

The integrated necklace 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 securely closed.

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

Humphrey uses only very good quality. Certain variations in color, however, cannot be avoided. It is nature!

Topaz Blue and White:

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

Topaz has been known for at least 2000 years and is among the gemstones that form the foundations of the twelve gates to the city of God, the New Jerusalem. These stones were meant to symbolize beauty and splendor and to serve as protection against enemies.

The colors of topaz range from yellow, light blue, light green, yellow-brown, reddish-brown, red, violet, and colorless. Humphrey uses exclusively blue and white topazes. Many topazes are color-treated. This also applies to our blue topazes, 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.

Rhodolith Red:

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

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

Citrin Yellow:

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

Citrine is the yellow-colored variety of quartz. The name derives 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 also have specific names depending on the color classification, such as Madeira citrine (intense orange-brandy colored) or Palmeira citrine (intense orange-amber colored). The general rule applies: the more intense the color, the more expensive, whereby the clarity of citrine should definitely be in the best range. Citrine has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Amethyst Violet:

Amethyst is a stone that exerts a special fascination because of its dark violet color. The word violet means immense strength. The color appears in nature wherever special power and energy are present.

The name of amethyst comes from the ancient Greeks. They believed the stone protected against drunkenness. According to an old legend, amethyst was a nymph whom Bacchus, the god of wine, had fallen in love with. However, the nymph did not return this love and blocked his advances. She asked the goddess Diana for help, and she transformed her into a gemstone. When Bacchus realized 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 widespread gemstone. The violet color of amethyst ranges from a very light, slightly pinkish to a very dark violet. Dark violet stones are considered particularly valuable. Amethyst has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Tourmaline Pink and Green:

The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word "tura mali." Translated, it means something like "stone with mixed colors."

An old legend from Egypt says that a tourmaline traveled on a long journey from inside the earth 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 from colorless to pink, red, yellow, brown, green, and blue to black. A single crystal can often display several colors.

At Humphrey, only pink and green tourmalines are used.

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