Enigmatic and alive, these earrings showcase labradorite drops that seem cloaked in an otherworldly veil — their surfaces erupting with flashes of electric blue, green, gold, and violet as light strikes from different angles. This phenomenon, known as labradorescence, transforms the stones from shadowed gray to brilliant spectral display with every movement, making it a symbol of transformation and change. Above each shimmering drop sits a small brilliant diamond, bezel-set in solid gold, its clear brilliance creating a striking contrast against the labradorite's mysterious depths. The diamond's steady sparkle acts as an anchor point of light, enhancing the stone's ever-changing fire below. Together they create a dialogue between the predictable and the magical — diamond's reliable brilliance with labradorite's unpredictable color play. Labradorite has long been revered by Inuit peoples as frozen fire from the aurora borealis (northern lights), fallen to earth and trapped in stone. These earrings honor that legend, pairing earthbound starlight with diamond's eternal fire. For those drawn to beauty that shifts between shadow and radiance, and who find poetry in enchanting contrasts.
There are two metal choices:
• Silver + Gold: Solid sterling silver bails and earwires. Solid 14k yellow gold bezel setting for the diamond.
• All Gold: Solid 14k yellow gold.
Labradorite’s name comes from its discovery on the Labrador Peninsula in Canada in the late 18th century. It is deeply rooted in Inuit lore, and believed to hold the aurora borealis (northern lights). It is often associated with transformation, protection, and creativity.
