Humphrey Creole Farbedelstein

with clip mechanism, pin steel with colored gemstone 4x4mm

The sides and inner surfaces of the hoop earrings are polished. The outer surface is matte. The hoops are eccentric (thicker at the top, thinner at the bottom) so that the stone does not pierce through the inside and the hole in the ear is nicely covered. All edges are softened and feel smooth. Humphrey uses nickel-free stainless steel.

The spring (closure patent) is integrated into the earring and therefore cannot be lost. The weight is low. Thus, this earring is also suitable for sensitive ears.

The colored gemstones are held by the force (tension) of the earring wire. They appear to float in the ear jewelry. To ensure this is secure, two notches in the shape of the colored gemstones are made in the wire 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 handling. However, the lifespan is unlimited. Most of the jewelry pieces ever produced by Humphrey are still worn.

Topaz Blue:

The 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, which means "fire" or "glowing."

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 of the New Jerusalem. These stones were meant to serve as symbols of beauty, brilliance, and as protection against enemies.

The color of topaz ranges from yellow, light blue, light green, yellow-brown, reddish-brown, red, violet, to colorless. Humphrey exclusively uses blue and white topazes. Many topazes are color-treated. This is also the case with 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 gemstones – only diamond, sapphire, and ruby are harder.

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 the long journey 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, from colorless to pink, red, yellow, brown, green, and blue to black. A single crystal can often display several colors.

Only pink and green tourmalines are used in 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.

Lolith Blue Violet:

According to a study, the iolite, also called cordierite, is said to have been used for navigation during the Viking Age even under cloudy skies due to its ability to make polarized light visible. This so-called sunstone is known from legendary traditions.

Iolith is derived 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, iolite belongs to the hard minerals

Amethyst Violet:

The amethyst is a stone that exerts a special fascination because of its dark purple color. The word violet means immense strength. The color occurs in nature wherever there is special power and energy.

The name of the amethyst comes from the ancient Greeks. They believed 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 return this love and his advances were rejected. 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 widely used jewelry stone. The purple 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 scale.
