Humphrey Collier Cube 5 stainless steel

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 cannot be overlooked thanks to the colored gemstone. It underlines the personality of the wearer. The outer surfaces are matted. The inner surfaces are polished and reflect a lot of light. All edges are softened and feel soft. Humphrey uses a nickel free stainless steel. The weight is perfectly balanced - so the stone always points to the front.

The colored gemstone is held by the force (tension) of the setting. He literally seems to be floating. To be sure, 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 offers a 2-year guarantee on the secure hold of the gemstone provided it is handled properly. However, the lifespan is unlimited. Most of the jewelry ever produced by Humphrey is still worn.

The integrated necklace is a delicate 0.5 mm stainless steel cable that nestles perfectly around the neck. The clasp is equipped with a push button and is therefore very easy to open and close - and is securely closed.

The pendant is fixed to this necklace and prevents the clasp from turning forward.

Humphrey only uses very good quality. However, certain variations in color cannot be prevented. It's nature!

Topaz Blue and White:

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

Known for at least 2000 years, topaz is one of the precious stones that form the foundations of the twelve gates to the city of God, New Jerusalem. These stones should serve as a symbol of beauty and splendor and as a defense against enemies.

The color of topaz range from yellow, light blue, light green, tawny, reddish brown, red, violet and colorless. Humphrey only uses blue and white topazes. Many topazes are changed in color by treatment. This also applies to our blue topazes, as these would otherwise result in 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 even harder.

Rhodolite Red:

Rhodolite is the name (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 so named because of its crimson color.

Rhodolite is a popular red variety of garnet. Its color ranges from pink to dark red with a subtle violet or raspberry undertone.

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

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 since a citrine is light yellow like a lemon. Romans wore the citrine on their chests to protect themselves from evil eyes. In the Middle Ages, the citrine was given a special role. It was worshiped as a sun stone that was said to bestow eternal life on the wearer.

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 coveted are either golden yellow or orange citrines, which then have specific names depending on their color classification, such as Madeira citrine (intensely orange-brandy coloured) or Palmeira citrine (intensely orange-amber coloured). In principle, the following rule applies: the more intensively colored, the more expensive, whereby the purity of citrine should definitely be in the best range. The citrine has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Amethyst Violet:

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

The name of amethyst comes from the ancient Greeks. They believed that the stone protects against drunkenness. According to an old legend, the amethyst was a nymph that Bacchus, the god of wine, fell in love with. However, the nymph did not return this love and his advances were blocked. She asked the goddess Diana for help and she turned her into a gemstone. When Bacchus realized he had lost his love, he poured his best wine over the stone, causing it to change color. This gave the stone a protective effect against drunkenness.

Gem quality amethyst is a popular and widely used gemstone. Amethyst's purple color ranges from a very light, slightly pink to a very dark purple. Dark purple 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 over a rainbow on the long way from the center of the earth up to the sun. Along the way he took in all the colors of the rainbow. That is why it is still called the "gem of the rainbow". Tourmaline is available in more than 50 shades from colorless to pink, red, yellow, brown, green and blue to black. A single crystal can often have multiple colors.

Humphrey only uses pink and green tourmalines.

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

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