Axis of Light I — Herkimer Diamond Necklace, 18ct Gold Vermeil- My Archetype

Axis of Light I — One of One Talisman

Archetypal resonance: The High Priestess

A study in clarity — refined, balanced, and quietly luminous.

This handcrafted necklace features Herkimer diamonds, each one naturally formed and left untouched, revealing their raw brilliance and light. Averaging 6mm in length, they sit along the neckline like points of stillness — precise, considered, and aligned.

Faceted 18ct gold vermeil beads over sterling silver are placed with intention, adding warmth and subtle contrast to the clarity of the stones. An extender chain allows for versatility in wear, adjusting the piece to sit exactly where it feels most natural.

At 43cm in length, with an additional 4.5cm extender, it rests lightly against the skin — minimal, yet quietly present.

Created by hand on the Central Coast of NSW, by My Archetype each piece reflects a focus on quality, durability, and lasting wear. Informed by training in silversmithing and Reiki practice, it carries a balance of craftsmanship and intention.

A piece that doesn’t seek attention — it simply holds light.

Herkimer diamonds — rare, naturally formed quartz crystals sourced from Herkimer County. Formed over 500 million years ago, they emerge from the earth already faceted, untouched by cutting or polishing, with a clarity and brilliance that feels almost otherworldly. Their light is not manufactured — it is remembered.

Often associated with clarity and energetic alignment, Herkimer diamonds are said to amplify intention and bring a sense of balance and lightness to the wearer. Each one carries its own internal landscape — tiny inclusions and natural formations that reflect its ancient origin and individual journey.
