Skye Kite® Natural Herkimer Diamond Engagement Ring Set in 14K Solid Rose Gold
This Herkimer diamond engagement ring set centers a raw, natural kite-cut Herkimer “diamond” — a doubly-terminated quartz with a smoky salt-and-pepper character all its own — matched to a coordinating band in warm solid rose gold. Part of our Skye Kite® line, it's a cosmic, one-of-a-kind two-piece set for someone who wants raw, organic beauty over a polished conventional stone.
The Herkimer diamond
A Herkimer “diamond” isn't a true diamond — it's a naturally faceted, doubly-terminated quartz famous for its clarity and raw crystalline sparkle. This one has a salt-and-pepper look, with natural light and dark inclusions that make every stone unique; yours will vary in color and clarity because it's formed by nature, not a lab. It's a softer stone than diamond, so it appreciates gentle care. If you love this aesthetic, our guide to what a salt-and-pepper diamond is and our non-traditional engagement ring guide are worth a read.
A two-piece set
Engagement Ring
Kite-cut natural Herkimer diamond center (6×10mm, ~1.4ct) with a choice of moissanite or natural diamond accents. Solid rose gold.
Matching Band
Coordinating band designed to nest against the engagement ring. Matching solid rose gold.
Sold as a two-piece set; each ring can also be worn on its own. Browse the full Skye Kite® collection and more gemstone engagement rings.
The accents
Choose your side stones from the drop-down menu: moissanite (D color, 9.25 Mohs) or natural conflict-free diamond (G/H, I1, 10 Mohs), ~0.3ctw — brilliant white accents that set off the smoky center.
Choose your metal & karat
Select your karat from the drop-down. Every option is solid rose gold throughout — the metal itself, never plating or vermeil over a base metal, so the warm blush color is permanent, won't wear off, and won't turn your skin green. Karat sets the gold's purity and price: 10K is the most durable and affordable, 14K is our most popular balance of rich color and everyday strength, and 18K is the purest, warmest gold. Our 10K vs 14K vs 18K gold karat comparison guide walks through how they differ.
- 10K Rose Gold: maximum durability, most affordable
- 14K Rose Gold: our most popular — rich color with everyday strength
- 18K Rose Gold: purer, warmer gold with a luxurious feel
Why solid rose gold
Whichever karat you choose, this set is solid rose gold throughout — not plating or vermeil over a base metal. The warm blush tone softens the smoky Herkimer beautifully, and the color is permanent: it won't wear off and won't turn your skin green.

Sizing & care
Herkimer quartz is softer than diamond, so treat it gently: avoid hard knocks and clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth rather than ultrasonic or steam cleaners. Both rings should be ordered in the same size; please reference our sizing guide before ordering. An optional written appraisal can be added from the drop-down menu (non-refundable once completed).
Herkimer diamond ring set FAQs
Is a Herkimer diamond a real diamond?
No — it's a natural, doubly-terminated quartz nicknamed “Herkimer diamond” for its clarity and raw crystalline sparkle. It's a genuine natural stone, just not a true diamond.
Will my stone look exactly like the photo?
Close, but not identical — each Herkimer has its own natural salt-and-pepper inclusions, so yours will be one of a kind while matching the overall character shown.
Which metal should I choose?
Every option is solid rose gold — available in 10K, 14K, and 18K. 10K is the hardest and most budget-friendly, 14K is our most popular balance of color and durability, and 18K is the purest, warmest gold. See our karat comparison guide for details.
Is this a set or a single ring?
It's a two-piece set — the Herkimer engagement ring plus a coordinating band. Each can also be worn alone.
Is this real solid gold?
Yes. Every option is solid rose gold throughout — the metal itself, not plating or vermeil. The color is permanent, won't wear off, and won't turn skin green.
How should I care for it?
Herkimer quartz is softer than diamond, so avoid hard knocks and clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Remove it for rough hands-on tasks.
