Description
I set this beautiful carved labradorite gemstone into a handmade sterling silver necklace using traditional jewellery-making techniques. The teardrop labradorite has a grey-green base with a strong blue flash that rolls across the surface as it catches the light, highlighting the detailed floral carving. I’ve tried to capture the different colours within this gemstone in the accompanying photos (they definitely don’t do it justice!), but please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
The pendant hangs from a decorative beaded silver link, with three silver loops suspending it from an 18-inch sterling silver belcher chain as standard. Longer chain and extender options are available from the drop-down menu.
I set this piece in a fancy crown-style edged setting to show off as much of the gemstone as possible. The silver is pushed over the stone, making the setting really secure.
This necklace has been hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The hallmark can be found on the back of the main pendant section.
Find out more about hallmarking and see the official dealer’s notice on my blog here.
The pendant measures approximately 18mm at the widest part of the gemstone and around 53mm from the top of the triple loops to the bottom of the setting.

Labradorite is a gemstone with a grey body colour however when light enters the gem an optical effect known as labradoresence occurs and shows flashes of colour. This can vary in hue from yellows, blues, greens and purples. This particular gem has a pretty blue tone right over the surface from the light interaction with highlights the details in the floral carving.
