Humphrey pendant Navette

with topaz blue 4 x 4mm Princess

The navette pendant is a classic form of jewelry and very elegant. It is delicate, comfortable to wear and attracts attention. It underlines the personality of the wearer.

The pendant is matte. All edges are softened and feel smooth. Humphrey uses nickel-free stainless steel.

The colored gemstone is held in place by the force (tension) of the stainless steel pendant. It appears 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-1990s and, if treated properly, offers a 2-year guarantee that the gemstone will stay securely in place. However, the lifespan is unlimited. Most of the jewelry ever produced by Humphrey is still worn.

The pendant can be worn on a rubber necklace, a snake chain, a Venetian chain or a rope.

Topaz:

Topaz takes its name from an island in the Red Sea, which in ancient times was called Topazos. In fact, another mineral, olivine, was mined there and was long confused with topaz. Another explanation of the name goes back to the Sanskrit word tapas, which means "fire" or "shine".

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, the New Jerusalem. These stones were intended to serve as a symbol of beauty, splendor and defense against enemies.

The color of the topaz ranges from yellow, light blue, light green, yellow-brown, reddish brown, red, violet and colorless. Humphrey only uses blue and white topazes. Many topazes are changed in color through treatment. This is also the case with our blue topazes, as they would otherwise attract enormous prices.

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

A colored gemstone brings joy on many days and for a lifetime!
