Get to Know Nouvelle
Taking made in New York to a whole new level!
Created with extraordinary New York Herkimer Diamonds, all mined especially for us in the New York Mohawk Valley Region.
Herkimer Diamonds are 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.
Every Nouvelle Necklace is one-of-a-kind–just like Ivey Abitz garments and just like you.
Ensemble Suggestions
Wear the Nouvelle with ALL Ivey Abitz ensembles! 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.
Some 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 the Earth. Planning an interstellar journey? Take a Nouvelle Necklace along to remind you of your home planet.
Care
Easy to care for! The copper has been coated with jewelers clear protectant, but with heavy wear periodic recoating with clear nail polish will keep the piece looking new. Treat the pendant as you would a fine piece of jewelry. It is sturdy but can be broken if abused. We recommend removing the piece before showering or going to bed.
