Beautiful deep midnight blue polished labradorite rounds are combined are combined with elegant modern almond shaped sterling silver earwires. Because less is more. The silver earwires are handmade and bought on etsy. The beads are 8 mm.

These particular labradorite rounds are a deep, rich blue with amazing blue, gold and green flashes. Polished rounds, slightly irregular. I am no expert but I suspect they might be spectrolite labradorite, because they are that sparkly blue all over, whereas regular labradorite will at first glance appear grey, earthy and organic looking, and then you see the blue flash as you turn it or look at it from a slightly different angle. Labradorite can produce a multi coloured play of light across cleavage planes and in sliced sections that is called labradorescence.

a new take on the classic pearl necklace!

beautiful, plump,white freshwater pearls alternate with lenghts of delicate big round link sterling silver chain, that has been oxidized to a deep soft grey for contrast.

These freshwater pearls are absolutely stunning - uniform and with a beautiful lustre.

I have named this necklace "lucky numbers" because it has seven pearls spaced with three links between them - both traditional lucky numbers.

The delicate big links chain contributes to an open airy feel. The pearls are appr. 7x9 mm, chain links are 10 mm. Necklace measures appr. 47.5 cm/18.85" cm and is light as a feather!

This necklace coordinates with my Perfect pearls and chain earrings, and it also matches my White almond earrings.
