Labradorite Statement Necklace – Twig Necklace

Labradorite Statement Necklace - Twig Necklace

Just look at that gold-green flash! Labradorite is one of my favourite gemstones and this large gemstone is stunning. Originally discovered in Labrador (hence the name!) in Canada in 1770, it has now also been found all over the world including Norway, Finland, Madagascar, and South America, to name just a few. Although "discovered" by Europeans, the native Inuit had been using the stone to heal ailments, calling it "fire rock" or "fire stone".

Legend has it that an Inuit warrior was walking along the coast when he saw that some of the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights) had been trapped in the rocks that lined the shore. With a swing of his spear, the lights were freed. Any remaining Aurora created Labradorite!

This Sterling Silver Labradorite Statement Necklace - Set in a simple bezel setting, the Labradorite is suspended from a textured “twig”, along with a handmade chain. The Labradorite is a statement! It measures approx 55mm across and the necklace measures approx 52cm long. Your necklace will be placed in a Scarlett Willow Designs gift box and will come with a care guide and polishing cloth to help keep your jewellery looking its best. Created in my home workshop using traditional silversmithing techniques. Hallmarked by Birmingham Assay Office. (For further information on hallmarking in the UK, please click here)
