Beautiful Labradorite Briolette Bead Netting Earrings One of a Kind (OOAK)

Description

Mix smoke and iridescence and you get labradorite, a beautiful, fragile gemstone that takes a great deal of skill to work with. It's one of my favorites, this fascinating combination of calcium, sodium, aluminum and silicate. This gemstone is one of the plagioclase feldspar minerals and its glimmer is actually called "labradorescence." An uncommon fluctuation of color and shimmer, labradorescence is dependent on the thickness of the slice of material. Too think or too thin and the effect is gone and one is left with a dull grey or smokey black stone.

This pair of briolettes are perfectly cut, faceted and polished to show off this mineral's special effects and I have matched them with matte iridescent gray and sparkling iridescent silvery crystal delica seed beads woven in circular netting technique. The French earwires are SlipLess in Argentium sterling silver, noted for its resistance to tarnish.

The drape is approximately 1.25 inches (3.2 cm) n length. These earrings come wrapped in colorful tissue and ensconced in a silver satin gift pouch.
