Description

A brilliant blue teardrop-shaped piece of labradorite wrapped by hand in .925 sterling silver. Labradorite is a glorious natural stone; it is an amazing form of feldspar that comes to life when the light catches it- then there is a flash of color (labradorescence) across the surface like the northern lights!

I can only hope I did the stone justice with my wire-wrapping job.

FAQ stuff:
I hand wrap these pieces with nothing more than my fingers and some bitty pliers. I purchase the stones already cut and polished from rock and gem shows. My silver is purchased directly from a precious metals silver refinery. My methods are a bit haphazard and I do not have nor do I plan on creating tutorials on how to make these. If you want to learn wire-wrapping there are already some good tutorials out there if you search on google.
