Genuine Labradorite and Swarovski Crystal Pendant, Bracelet, & Earrings Set - Bracelet

Made of genuine Labradorite (Natural) gemstone, 8mm Swarovski crystals, and solid brass wire. 14/20 Gold Filled earwires.

 

If raindrops were drops of labradorite, at the first hint of rain, people would rush out with buckets to catch this soft grey/blue stone with lustrous blues and greens flashing inside it. Also called spectrolite, it is named for Labrador, the Canadian peninsula where it was first found in 1770. It is also located in Mexico, Russia and Finland. You'll love this cabochons set open backed so the light can illuminate them.

 

Metaphysical/Healing Properties

 

Labradorite is a tremendously spiritual stone. When I think of labradorite, I think of "labor." It is especially helpful for people who tend to overwork. It helps us regain our energy and aids our bodies and spirits in healing themselves. If you practice meditation (or would like to), focusing on labradorite can help you enter and maintain the meditative state. Like the sound and glistening beauty of a gentle rain, this gemstone quiets us physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Q. What is Gold Filled?

 

A. Gold-filled wire, sometimes called rolled gold. For most people, it will last their entire lifetime without showing signs of wear. It is made by forming a tube of gold and filling the tube with a bass metal, usually jewelr's brass. The gold content is 5% or 1/20 of the total wire. Gold-filled wire jewelry offers an affordable, durable choice at a fraction of the cost of solid karat gold. By no means is this like gold plated.
