labradorite ring sterling silver, our latest jewellery collections off a host of gemstones, find out a little more about each stones.
Semi-precious labradorite ring sterling silver is a deep yet radiantly greenish-grey gemstone that hails mainly from the upper reaches of the northern hemisphere.
It’s a member of the feldspar group of minerals and boasts some of the most eye-catching light displays in the gemstone world. Tied into the natural phenomena of these regions, the colours it refracts can range from peacock blue to copper red with iridescent flashes of green and gold everywhere in between
As a relatively new member of the group of gemstones of the world, Labradorite jewellery was only discovered in abundance in the 18th century. Paul Island near Nain in Labrador, Canada, was the site of this discovery and it’s gone on to become one of the world’s most interesting source locations of this particular gemstone
A natural phenomenon called ‘labradorescence’ comes from the unique characteristics of this gemstone. It’s an iridescent optical effect that is often likened to the colourful displays of the Northern Lights or the world’s most beautiful butterflies, so it’s easy to see how and why this caught the eyes of the Inuit and Beothuk people back in the day.
