This Herkimer diamond choker necklace is so delicate and pretty. In this simple design, a small quartz nugget is centered on gold-filled cable chain. The stone sits right at the hollow of your throat, making this a great piece for layering. Though not really a diamond, this stone really sparkles! Found in Herkimer County, New York, these gemstones are known for their exceptional clarity and diamond-like appearance. Little gemstones connect the lobster clasp. Note: Each Herkimer diamond is unique. Your necklace will contain a stone that is very similar to, but not identical to the one pictured. Please contact me if you would like to see additional photos. This necklace is about 16" (40.6cm) in length, so it is a little longer than the usual choker length. If necessary, I would be happy to adjust the length for you. Also available in sterling silver. Your jewellery will be packaged in a small gift box. Gift wrapping is available upon request. What is Gold-Filled? Gold-filled is an economical alternative to solid gold. By law, it has 1/20th by weight layer of 14 karat gold permanently bonded over a core of base metal. It is tarnish-resistant, safe for sensitive skin and unlike gold plate, it will not wear off. It is a great way to enjoy affordable gold jewellery.
