Natural Teardrop Labradorite Necklace in Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Fill Labradorite, a feldspar originally found in Labrador Island, Canada, was believed to be fallen fire from the Aurora Borealis by the Inuit people. It is a protective gemstone, said to help support us through transformation and everyday life changes. Labradorite is also believed to hold the energies of creativity, courage, and leadership. This necklace is handcrafted with a natural, faceted Labradorite gem in an elongated teardrop shape. Each stone is naturally gray that flashes blue-green when turned from side to side. The chain and clasp are 14k gold filled or sterling silver. Matching earrings are available in our shop, as well.

WHAT'S 14KT GOLD FILLED? 14KT Gold Filled is the next best thing to real 14kt gold. It is a thick coating of 14kt gold over brass (It's 100 times thicker than gold plate). If properly cared for it will not tarnish and can last for years or sometimes decades. It's also great for those who have sensitivities to metal.
