American treasure

We transformed one of history's most impressive displays of raw power into a romantic expression of love

When Mount Saint Helen’s erupted with volcanic fury on May 18, 1980, it burned over 230 square miles of land in the Pacific Northwest. So violent was the eruption that 1,300 feet was blown off the top of the mountain in the process. The swath of destruction left in its wake is unexpected. But what it yielded in the aftermath was even more surprising. For from that chaos, something beautiful emerged...a  warm golden stone that shines like a yellow diamond.

The stones in the Golden Helenite Collection are ceated from heating the ancient minerals contained in the volcanic ash unearthed by the historical eruption of Mount St. Helens. In a stunning pear cut, the stones flash and flicker in radiant glory, echoing its dramatic origins. Set in gold-finished sterling silver and accented with sparkling white stones, this jewelry is perfect for letting her know she’s your greatest treasure.
