Natural Herkimer Diamond Leaf Engagement Ring Set in 14K Solid Rose Gold
This salt and pepper Herkimer ring set centers a raw marquise-cut natural Herkimer âdiamondâ â a clear quartz flecked with dark natural inclusions that give it a smoky salt-and-pepper look â wound with leaf-and-vine detailing and matched to a coordinating band, in warm solid gold. Now available in your choice of karat and color. A boho, fairy-inspired two-piece set for dreamers who want something raw and one-of-a-kind.
Choose your metal & karat
Both rings are made in solid gold â the metal all the way through, never plating or vermeil over a base metal. Use the drop-down to choose the karat and color that suit you:
10K Gold
The most affordable and the hardest-wearing of the three karats â a great everyday choice. Available in white, yellow, or rose.
14K Gold
Our most popular pick: the classic balance of durability, rich color, and value. White, yellow, or rose.
18K Gold
The highest gold content we offer â the warmest, most saturated color and a true heirloom feel. White, yellow, or rose.
Which suits it?
Warm rose and yellow gold soften the smoky raw center for a boho look; cool white gold gives a crisp, modern contrast.
Higher karat means more pure gold and a warmer tone; lower karat is harder and more budget-friendly. Not sure which is right? Our 10K vs 14K vs 18K gold comparison guide walks through durability, color, and price so you can choose with confidence.
The Herkimer diamond
A Herkimer âdiamondâ isn't a true diamond â it's a naturally faceted, doubly-terminated quartz prized for its clarity and raw sparkle. This raw marquise center carries natural black-and-white âsalt-and-pepperâ inclusions, so every stone's pattern is unique and yours will vary from the photos. It's softer than diamond (about 7 Mohs), so it appreciates gentle care. Our guide to salt-and-pepper diamonds and our non-traditional engagement ring guide are great reads for raw, celestial styles.
