Labradorite Stone Necklace - Gemstones that Glow!

Handmade Labradorite Heart Pendant Necklace

Gemstone lovers that are fond of the stone called Labradorite love it because it often reflects a gorgeous blue flash.  This is due to an iridescent property of labradorite that results from light diffracting off closely spaced layers of calcium- and sodium-rich feldspar; otherwise known as labradorescence. As the stone is turned, flashes of blue- and in some cases green, yellow, and red- are visible across the surface of the stone. 

I recently found this large Labradorite heart gemstone with lots of labradorescence. I knew it would make a beautiful pendant necklace.  I have hand soldered it and added tiny silver soldered beads around the edge of the pendant.  I then oxidized the metal to a dark finish, polished it and waxed it.  A hand forged sterling silver hook clasp attaches to 2 different styles of chain- a silver tassel bead chain and an oxidized silver embossed cable chain. The heart pendant hangs asymmetrically from the silver tassel chain.  Shown below with our "Tiny Sterling Silver Padlock Necklace", sold separately.
