Skye Kite® Galaxy Raw Herkimer Diamond Ring Set in Sterling Silver (Salt & Pepper Diamond)

Q: Is the Herkimer diamond a real diamond?

No. Herkimer diamond is a trade name for a naturally double-terminated quartz crystal. It is genuine natural quartz, prized for its glassy clarity and diamond-like sparkle, not a mined or lab diamond.

Q: Does this come as a set?

Yes, it includes the kite-cut Herkimer diamond engagement ring plus a matching band designed to nest alongside it. The band can also be worn on its own as a stacking or promise ring.

Q: Why is it called a kite cut?

The stone is shaped like a kite, an elongated, four-sided geometric silhouette set on point. It is a bold, modern alternative to round or oval cuts and lengthens the finger beautifully.

Mini Natural Geode Ring Box with Gold Hinge – Smoke Agate Grey Edition

$145.00

Product Description

A shard of the night sky, set in silver. The Skye Kite® kite-cut Herkimer diamond ring set centers a natural, double-terminated quartz crystal — a genuine “Herkimer diamond” dusted with smoky salt-and-pepper inclusions that glimmer like a galaxy in glass. Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with a bright rhodium finish, the engagement ring pairs with a matching band for a proposal that is elemental, individual and quietly cosmic.

Natural Herkimer quartz Kite cut Solid 925 sterling silver Rhodium finish Matching ring set Free velvet gift box

A kite cut with celestial drama

The elongated kite shape is one of the most striking silhouettes in alternative bridal design — a pointed, geometric facet that draws the eye and lengthens the finger with modern, off-center flair. It is a shape for someone who embraces individuality, a bold departure from the round solitaire that still sits happily among nature-inspired engagement rings. Set on point, the crystal reads like a sliver of the cosmos captured mid-fall. If the kite silhouette is what draws you in, explore more of it in our kite-cut Herkimer diamond engagement rings collection.

The engagement ring

Holds the kite-cut natural Herkimer diamond on point — the statement piece and cosmic focal point of the set.

The matching band

A slender companion band that nests against the engagement ring to complete the pairing. Beautiful stacked, or worn alone from our Herkimer diamond couples rings.

The natural Herkimer diamond

A “Herkimer diamond” is not a diamond at all — it is the trade name for a rare, naturally double-terminated quartz crystal found in Herkimer County, New York, and formed nearly 500 million years ago. Nature grows these crystals into brilliant, faceted geometry all on their own, which is how they earned their sparkling nickname while remaining genuine natural quartz. The black-and-white inclusions inside this stone give it a smoky, salt-and-pepper depth, so every crystal is one of a kind. Yours will share the same character as our photos with its own subtle variation in clarity and speckle — the signature of a truly individual gem, not a flaw. To learn where the stone comes from and what it is worth, our complete Herkimer diamond guide tells the full story.

Salt-and-pepper look, natural crystal

This ring gives you the moody, galaxy-in-glass beauty of a salt-and-pepper diamond while keeping the stone as untreated natural quartz. The scattered flecks of dark and light create an aesthetic that feels luxurious, otherworldly and completely modern — ideal for a non-traditional engagement ring with soul. Deciding between the two stones? Our editorial on Herkimer diamond versus salt-and-pepper diamond compares clarity, cost and character in depth.

Solid sterling silver with a rhodium finish

The set is crafted in solid 925 sterling silver and finished with a layer of rhodium — the same precious metal used on fine white-gold jewelry. That rhodium finish gives every ring a bright, mirror-white luster and adds a protective shield that helps resist tarnish and everyday scratches, keeping the silver looking freshly polished. It is the detail that lets a sterling silver ring wear like something far more expensive.

What the Herkimer diamond symbolizes

Known for its high, clear energy, the Herkimer diamond is treasured by crystal lovers as a stone of attunement, clarity and new beginnings — a symbol of a bright, focused bond between two people. Its ancient origin and one-of-a-kind character make it a quietly meaningful choice for couples who want a ring with history and individuality. Discover more of that raw-luxe spirit across our Herkimer diamond engagement rings.

Sizing & care

Choose your size at checkout. If you are between sizes or unsure, we are happy to help — and if the fit is not quite right, resizing is available and starts from a modest fee. Natural Herkimer quartz sits around 7.5 on the Mohs scale, so it wears well day to day; to keep the crystal and rhodium finish at their brightest, remove the rings before showering, swimming or applying lotions, and store them in the velvet box when not worn. A soft, dry cloth restores the shine beautifully. Wondering how the stone stands up to everyday life? Our article on whether Herkimer diamond rings are durable covers it in detail.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Herkimer diamond a real diamond?

No — “Herkimer diamond” is a trade name for a naturally double-terminated quartz crystal. It is genuine natural quartz, prized for its glassy clarity and diamond-like sparkle, not a mined or lab diamond.

Is the stone natural?

Yes. Each Herkimer diamond is a genuine natural crystal formed in the earth nearly 500 million years ago, and its salt-and-pepper inclusions are entirely natural — never dyed or painted.

Does this come as a set?

Yes — it includes the kite-cut Herkimer diamond engagement ring plus a matching band designed to nest alongside it. The band can also be worn on its own as a stacking or promise ring.

Why is it called a kite cut?

The stone is shaped like a kite — an elongated, four-sided geometric silhouette set on point. It is a bold, modern alternative to round or oval cuts and lengthens the finger beautifully.

What does the salt-and-pepper look mean?

It refers to the natural black-and-white inclusions inside the quartz, which give a smoky, galaxy-like appearance similar to a salt-and-pepper diamond — here achieved with untreated natural crystal.

What metal is it made from?

Solid 925 sterling silver, finished with rhodium for a bright white luster and extra protection against tarnish and scratches.

What does the rhodium finish do?

Rhodium is the same precious metal used to finish fine white gold. It gives the silver a mirror-bright, white-gold-like shine and adds a protective layer that helps the ring stay looking freshly polished.

Will my stone look exactly like the photos?

It will share the same kite shape and salt-and-pepper character, but the exact pattern of inclusions is one of a kind. No two Herkimer crystals are ever identical, so yours is truly unique.

Is a Herkimer diamond durable enough for daily wear?

Yes, with normal care. Herkimer quartz sits around 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it well suited to everyday wear. Avoid hard knocks and remove the rings for rough activities to keep the crystal pristine.

How big is the center stone?

The kite Herkimer diamond measures approximately 6.0 x 11.0 mm, around 1.4 ct — a long, elegant center that makes a striking statement.

What size should I order?

Select your ring size at checkout. If you are unsure or between sizes, contact us for guidance. Resizing is available and starts from a modest fee.

Are the stones ethically sourced?

Yes. All of our stones are ethically sourced and conflict-free, so you can wear your set with complete peace of mind.

Does it arrive gift-ready?

Every order ships in a free luxury velvet gift box and is backed by our lifetime warranty — ready for a proposal or to give as a keepsake.

I love it

I love it 🥰😍

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear you love the ring. Enjoy wearing it!

We absolutely love these rings! They were our wedding rings, and I was devastated when I lost mine. I was so happy to find the same ring from the same seller so I could replace it. The new one is just as beautiful as my original, and I requested a lighter shade this time. They did exactly that, and it turned out beautiful!

These rings are so special to us, and I’m incredibly happy to have mine back. Such a beautiful piece and a wonderful seller.

GORGEOUS!

I cannot begin to express how GORGEOUS this ring is! And for the price?? I am so incredibly happy with this ring. The stone is much more clear/salt and pepper, and honestly looks even better than the advertised photo. Order from this company- you will NOT regret it!
Ring came in way sooner than expected, too!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. It truly means a lot to us. ❤️

Amazing ring set, and impeccable customer service! I was given this ring set for engagement and marriage last year by my husband, but I’m pregnant and out grew my rings for the time being.

I reached out to customer service hoping to purchase a new set in a larger size with a similar center stone to my original set since there are so many natural variations!

They took the time and care to pick one out for me that looked similar to my original set. I’m so pleased!

Love the ring but quickly disappointed

Ordered this ring for my now fiance and she is madly in love with it! However, she wore it to work (retail) and the gemstone chipped drastically. She is heartbroken.

Beautiful! Shipped fast and exceeded my expectations.

I absolutely am in love with my

I absolutely am in love with my ring!

We’re thrilled to hear the ring exceeded your expectations and looks just like the picture! Thank you for your feedback! ✨

this ring is beautiful! i originally ordered a size too big but the seller was super kind and helpful, allowing me to exchange for the right size. the metal feels very high quality and the stones look high quality as well. perfect for dressing up or down depending on if you wear the rings together or separate. soo happy with this purchase!!!

We’re thrilled that you found the ring beautiful and that our exchange process was helpful! Thank you for your kind words about the quality! ✨

I absolutely love my ring thank you so much it is sooo beautiful!!!

We're thrilled to hear that you absolutely love your ring! Thank you for your kind words; it means so much to us! Enjoy wearing your beautiful piece! ✨

This ring is unique, well crafted, and incredibly beautiful! It's been over ten years since I had a wedding ring I wanted to wear every day but I very much will this piece!

I proposed to my girlfriend (now fiancée) with this ring and she is absolutely in love with it. The ring was shipped out the same day and even though I ordered it just before Christmas, it arrived super quick. Would definitely recommend this ring, it’s very good quality and I was happy with it as well. She has received so many comments on how gorgeous it is.

Beautiful ring, great quality, amazing packaging with a cute soft ring box

A+ experience. Shipped quick. Arrived as advertised

I loooove this ring! It’s better than I could have imagined, especially with it being a good price 😁💙

I bought this ring to propose to my girlfriend and she loves it! I’ve heard nothing but positive things about the ring! 10/10 would recommend!

Beautiful perfect fit ring that made the perfect gift. Very quick shipping and amazing customer service :)

My little secret inner goth heart is screaming in joy. I asked for the most greyish / salt and pepper rock and def got it. I'm so in love. I got this to be like my work ring / vacation ring so I didn't lose or mess up the real one but I'm so obsessed with this I'm gonna wear it everyday.

This was my first time buying a ring of this cut and it’s not really for me. It snags on lot on different things and has proven to get in the way of my busy everyday chores. But that’s just the nature of the shape and honestly thats neither here nor there because the stone on my ring looks lovey. I specifically requested for a salt and pepper stone that was on the lighter side and got exactly what I asked for 🩶🩶🩶

The ring was just like the photos. It shipped extremely fast, though it did not arrive until two days after the initial estimated date. But that wasn’t an issue with the seller, that was USPS. I’m EXTREMELY happy with the product!

Not only is the ring stunning, the fit is perfect, and it got here in days.

Frequently Asked Questions

925 means the metal is 92.5% pure silver, alloyed for strength — pure silver on its own is too soft to hold a stone securely. It is the international standard for fine silver jewellery, and every Aquamarise® piece is stamped 925 inside the band.

Ours is then finished with rhodium — the same precious-metal finish used on white gold. Rhodium is one of the hardest metals used in jewellery and completely non-reactive, which is what gives the ring its bright, cool white surface and keeps it looking that way through daily wear.

Warm water, a drop of mild washing-up liquid and a soft toothbrush around the setting. Rinse well and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth — moisture left sitting on any finish is what dulls it fastest.

Skip the silver dips and abrasive polishing compounds sold for untreated silver: the rhodium finish is doing the work here, and those products strip it rather than clean it. Take the ring off before swimming, cleaning or applying perfume and lotion, and store it dry and separately from harder stones. Our Jewelry Care Guide has the full routine.

For a promise ring, a stacking ring, a travel piece or a first engagement ring, it is an excellent choice — rhodium-finished, bright white, and a fraction of the price of gold. It is the metal most of our customers start with, and the reason our silver engagement rings outsell everything else on the site.

For a ring intended to be worn every day for decades, solid gold and platinum are harder-wearing and hold their value; those are made to order in 3–6 weeks and cost considerably more. Plenty of couples buy sterling now and upgrade at an anniversary. Our Precious Metal Guide compares them side by side.

Measure at home with our Ring Size Chart, or use the Find my ring size link beside the Add to Cart button. If you are between sizes, size up.

If the fit is not right when it arrives, size exchanges are free — send it back within 14 days unworn and we will send the correct size out. That is the whole process: no fee, no forms. Engraved rings are the one exception, as each is cut specifically for you.

On most designs, yes — where engraving is available, a text field appears with the options above. Standard laser engraving is complimentary: up to 16 characters on women’s rings and 25 on men’s, set in Arial, with a selection of symbols included at no extra cost. Custom fonts and symbols are $25 and are arranged before you order.

See the Engraving page for examples. Engraved rings are final sale, so check your wording carefully — we engrave exactly what is entered.
