A beautiful and stunning necklace using labradorite beads ( approx 7mm nuggets) and blue hued agates and turquoise. Gold-filled chains and gold-filled toggle clasps.
Something about Labradorite beads. They have a gorgeous soft gray color and exhibit iridescent flashes of green and blue as they are moved around in the light. When surrounded with the right supporting stones especially in blue tones, it is simply stunning. Labradorite is named after the peninsula of Labrador in Canada, where it was originally found. A member of the feldspar family, Labradorite is a beautiful gemstone that ranges in color from dark gray to gray-black with colorful iridescence or labradorescence. These lustrous metallic tints, known as schillers, are most often blue and green. The schiller effect results from the lamellar (layered) structure of this feldspar – light enters the stone and is refracted back and forth between layers.
Made this necklace for a very dear sister in Canada. Happy Birthday Ros. We miss you and we love you!
