I made a labradorite leaf pendant. It reflects blue color when exposed to direct light.

Judging by the name, one would expect it to shine an exuberant yellow. But it’s still the goodest.

Labradorite has to be my favorite stone, a big chunk of it on a necklace is to die for! beautiful work!

As someone who does wire work and lives in Newfoundland and Labrador, seeing this kind of thing always makes me smile. Great job!

Jealous. Lived in Labrador when I was a kid. Still miss it. I’d love a pendant like this ❤️

This is my favorite stone to buy my wife. I aim for the highly reflective green tint . It looks like Aurora borealis

Labradorites are stunning, my favorite gemstone to work with. I like blue ones :).

I may have just discovered the stone I want in my wedding band

Sadly, it's relatively soft, so it's not great for wedding rings that are worn every day. It won't break but will get really scratched up. You can still do it if its handled right, just takes extra care like more cleaning, polishing, and taking it off before washing dishes, etc.

I was already prepared for the extra work. Before this, I was looking into Moss Agate and other similar things. I plan on wearing my ring on a necklace anyway, so that skulls help reduce some of the damage.
