Gorgeous Handmade Labradorite Earrings available in my shop! Made by me using ethically sourced Labradorite crystals from Madagascar and high-quality thick stainless steel and brass!🥰
I was on the bus earlier and my earring SOMEHOW managed to fall out exactly a minute before my stop, so I was frantically patting down my coat and checking my grocery bag to see if it somehow fell in there already resigning myself to either miss my stop or leave without it, then by some miracle my earring seemed to pop back into existence and bounced to the ground, and the dude sitting across from me (who saw my entire crisis in live time) had the most genuine "You did it!" smile on his face when I triumphantly snatched it off the floor.
My dad not knowing that I’ve been struggling for a while now getting the un-ignorable urge to buy me Labradorite earrings while on holiday when he usually just buys me a keyring or badge to add to my collection: We walked around for a bit and nothing else was good enough and I just had to go back and get you them!
Me who has been reading about crystals: Thank you 🥺
Between garden work, the hot summer weather and working in my shop I'm a bit tired so I feel a bit behind on posting some of my work. I've created several new pieces that I will be dropping in my Etsy shop here through the upcoming week. One of the latest pieces, that is available now, are these gorgeous black labradorite and opal threader earrings. I really adore how this combination came out. You can find them now here
The Lizard Point jewellery set. This set features a large pendant hewn from the rocks at Lizard Point in Cornwall, UK. Lizard Point is a unique geological feature in Cornwall because the whole peninsula is formed from serpentine semi precious gemstone rather than common rocks! The cliffs, rocks beneath the soil, and the pebbles on the beach are all multicoloured reptilian patterned serpentine stone. The stone’s colour is a mix of forest green, white, dark brown, deep red, and black. The visitor centre is surrounded by local artisans’ shops making and selling jewellery, ornaments, housewares, and other decorative objects made of polished Lizard Point serpentine stone.
My necklace’s colours are drawn from the natural landscape around Lizard Point. The blue and white is the sea and sky, the green is the wildflower meadows on the clifftops, and the diverse earth tones the rocks below. The earrings are actually another stone called “camouflage jasper”. It’s a lovely memento of this beautiful place.
Materials and techniques: Bead stringing on polymer thread, beadwoven holder for the centrepiece, wire wrapping for the earrings, glass seed beads, labradorite round beads, dyed freshwater pearls, white freshwater pearls, glass faceted crystals, camouflage jasper beads, swarovski crystals, steel findings, Lizard Point serpentine centrepiece
