Who doesn't love Labradorite?

Labradorite is one of those healing stones that is easily recognisable,  a magical healing stone, used by shamans, diviners, healers, and all who travel and embrace the universe seeking knowledge and guidance. It is a wonderful gemstone for awakening one’s self discovery of inner spirit, intuition and psychic abilities.

A stunning and striking healing crystal prized for its chatoyency, especially when it comes in shades of blue, purple and orange.

It is with this in mind that this month I spent a number of days creating a collection of bezel set labradorite jewellery.

The first piece I actually started weeks before, was this gorgeous labradorite teardrop which I could not decide whether to make it into a ring or pendant.  It's blue flash was absolutely stunning, and I finally decided on making it into a pendant after I created 2 labradorite rings.
 

I created the fine and sterling silver setting as per usual, added the bail and at that point I realised that I had not taken into consideration the best orientation of the stone to show its stunning blue flash.

For weeks I deliberated whether to finish this design, or start again, before finally biting the bullet, and starting the whole design again.

I took the design one step further by added some sterling silver granulated balls, and I created a teardrop cut out to the setting as the back of the cabochon was just as stunning as the front:
  Currently I have so many gorgeous labradarite cabochons, with different flash, as well as some stunning blue sheen labradorite.

After finishing the teardrop pendant my eye was caught be a squarish labradorite cabochon, which I thought would lend itself to a chunky statement ring.

I created the ring shank using 10mm wide 1mm thick sterling silver wire, and used a design punch to add a random pattern on to it before forming the ring:

  While looking for some 6mm cabochons, for my sterling silver healing crystal chaos rings, I came across some gorgeous dark mysterious labradorite with a subtle blue flash, which I thought would work really well:
To finish of the collection of labradorite jewellery I created these cute handmade serrated sterling silver studs, in a lighter colour with a very subtle blue flash:
 
They are all available to buy on the website along with the other labradorite goodies that I have created and added.

I would really love to hear your thoughts, so post something in the comments below.

Until next time
