On May 18, 1980, the once-slumbering Mount St. Helens erupted, sending a column of ash and smoke 80,000 feet into the atmosphere. It was one of nature’s most spectacular displays of power. But even more remarkable was what emerged from the aftermath.
Workers discovered that intense heat could transform material from the volcano’s ash into Helenite, a brilliant green creation born from the famous eruption. Its vivid color and remarkable fire quickly caught the attention of jewelry designers — and continue to give us ideas for jewelry guaranteed to get attention.
At the center of the Helenite Luster Ring is a commanding 3 ⅓ carat Helenite, glowing with rich green color. We surrounded it with the dazzling brilliance of our exclusive DiamondAura®, The Ultimate Diamond Alternative®, and finished the setting in gleaming 14k yellow gold.
The result is vivid, dramatic and anything but ordinary. But apparently, one eruption of green wasn’t enough. A matching pair of one total carat Helenite stud earrings completes the set, with gleaming 14k yellow gold-finished settings and secure post backs.
Nature supplied the drama. We supplied the encore.
