Using jewelry as a vehicle for equality and activism, Heather Benjamin Jewelry brings a high level of consciousness to the fashion industry world.This collection is characterized by the natural beauty of materials like Mexican geodes and drusey quartz. Heather Benjamin uses drusey quartz found in countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, and Mexico. This crystal formation occurs inside of geodes within ancient volcanic rocks or lava. The sugar-like sparkle, which sometimes illuminates a natural iridescence, speaks to a world of magic and mystery. Carefully incorporated into a Heather Benjamin necklace, ring earring or cufflink, the wearer invites a component of magic and mystery into their life.
