Get to Know a Precious Heirloom
Taking made in New York to a whole new level!
- We are proud to introduce to you our new jewelry line, created with extraordinary New York Herkimer Diamonds, all mined especially for us in the New York Mohawk Valley Region.
- Every Heirloom Necklace is one-of-a-kind–just like Ivey Abitz garments and just like you.
- The Heirloom Necklace features a stunning and rare large Herkimer Diamond with a cluster of Herkimer Druzy (created from sheets of baby Herkimers) atop it.
- Finished with a rustic copper setting and chain, it celebrates and embraces the extraordinary beauty of the raw and unrefined found in nature.
- Each are one-of-a-kind, made just for you, and will be similar in weight and size to the ones shown here in our Look Book.
History of the Herkimer
Herkimer Diamonds are about 400-500 million years old. The crystals are marvels of nature with self-made facets. They are found inside pockets of dolomite limestone, just as you see them featured in our jewelry.
We are collaborating with a wonderfully kind and talented jewelry artist named Dori who mines for the Herkimer Diamonds herself with a sledge hammer and chisel. Then, she makes them into necklaces using a rustic copper setting and chain.
Ensemble Suggestions
Wear the Heirloom with ALL Ivey Abitz ensembles for a bold accoutrement! The length of the chain is adjustable, so it can be worn with any of our necklines. Just take extra care when wearing it with our silk chiffons as some of the facets can catch on the finely spun weaves.
People wear them for the energy they give. Many wear them as healing pieces. Others wear them to keep safe during journeys. Some wear them because they love New York and it’s an amazing piece of history from it.
