Labradorite is a stone of self-discovery and magic. It is said to help awaken our inner spirit and intuition. It is a powerful protector of the aura that is associated with clairvoyance and psychic abilities. It is said to energize the imagination, allowing our creativity to flow. It was discovered in Labrador, and is said to hold all the colours of the Aurora borealis, the northern lights.
Bracelets are strung on stretchy string and have a 14k gold fill accent beads. The beads are 5mm micro faceted gemstone beads. Fill is different than plated, the gold is bonded to jewellers brass. This bonding process binds the 14k gold to the base metal, and with basic care it wears like just gold and will not tarnish at a more affordable price than solid gold.
*All gemstones are earthly treasures, and are therefore one of a kind. Pieces will always have slight variations in the stones that will be different from the picture.
To ensure of the right size for you, simply measure around your wrist with a piece of string, mark it and lay beside a ruler.
You must then decide what fit you would like best. Some people prefer them to be a little more snug, some prefer to have it a little on the loose side.
Most of our jewelry is made with either 925 sterling silver, 14k gold fill, 14k rose gold fill or solid 14k gold or fine silver.
Filled Metals
Fill is different than plated, the gold is bonded to jewellers brass and the rose gold is bonded to jewellers copper. Filled metal has to be at least 5% solid gold or rose gold. This bonding process binds the 14k gold to the base metal, and with basic care it wears like just gold and will not tarnish at a more affordable price than solid gold.
14k Gold
14k gold is approximately 57% gold, making it a very durable gold that most skin can tolerate (except for those who are very allergic). The adding of alloy metals to the gold gives its more strength as the higher percentage of gold (24k being 100% pure gold) the softer it is and more likely to get scratched or dented.
Sterling + Fine Silver
Sterling silver is 92.5 percent silver with 7.5 percent other alloy metals, generally copper. This is why sterling silver over time can tarnish, but will polish up quickly with a polishing cloth.
Fine silver is 99.9 percent silver with a small amount of copper present to help it to retain its hardness as pure silver is very soft. This metal is much slower to tarnish over time.

All of our jewelry is handmade in our home studio. Handmade is something we feel passionate about in a world of fast, cheap fashion. Cheap and disposable jewelry creates a structure where work is outsourced to places where work conditions and pay are very poor. We need to vote with our dollars for a more equitable world.
