Labradorite Necklace — Sterling Silver Flash Pendant

This Labradorite necklace sets a genuine, untreated stone in sterling silver, a quietly grey pendant at rest that comes alive the moment it catches the light. That shifting flash is called labradorescence, and it is the whole reason people fall for this stone, since no two glances of it look quite the same.

So what does labradorite actually do? It is widely reached for as a protective stone, believed to shield the aura and calm an overactive mind, while also supporting intuition and a fresh perspective on stuck situations. It is linked to the third-eye chakra, which fits neatly with wearing it as a pendant close to the face and mind.

About this piece

A fair question is whether that flash is real or added afterward, and here it is entirely natural, all treatment and dye free. The colour play comes from light reflecting off microscopic layers inside the stone rather than anything on the surface. Labradorite takes its name from Labrador, Canada, where it was first documented in 1770, and the play-of-colour effect is unique enough to the mineral that it lent its name to the phenomenon itself.

Wearing your Labradorite

Labradorite holds up well day to day, though it is worth taking off before swimming or anything with a hard knock, since a sharp impact can chip the polished face. Store it separately from harder stones so the surface stays smooth, and a soft, dry cloth is all it needs to keep both stone and silver looking their best.
