The deep aqua color of this stone is beautiful! A dark aqua blue labradorite with gorgeous faceting. I wrapped this stunning stone in an intricate sterling silver bezel with a hand pierced peekaboo back, and set it on top of 1/4" wide band with a floral art nouveau pattern. It is accented by a statement-sized genuine solid cast sterling silver succulent double blossom. The combination of gemstone+ florals+ metals is one of my absolute favorites, and makes this piece totally one of a kind. Size- currently fits sizes 7-8, but this ring can be resized in your size at no charge! The open band design is slightly adjustable, making it comfortable to wear within a range of one whole size. Please tell me the ring size you normally wear in the notes at checkout, and I'll resize it for you! The ring face measures 1.5x1 inches. I pour my heart and soul into crafting these unique, artisanal jewelry pieces. From concept to completion, every detail is carefully considered and executed by my own two hands in my humble home studio, ensuring a truly one-of-a-kind treasure. Labradorite stones often feature small inclusions, which are a natural result of the stone's unique formation process. Labradorite is a type of plagioclase feldspar that forms through the slow cooling of magma deep within the earth's crust. As the magma cools, tiny particles of other minerals can become trapped within the stone, creating small inclusions. These inclusions are a testament to the stone's natural origins and do not detract from its beauty or value. Labradorite is also revered for its powerful shielding properties, offering protection from negative energies, electromagnetic pollution, and emotional drain. It's said to create a barrier of light around the wearer, deflecting unwanted influences and promoting a sense of safety and well-being. By shielding us from negative energies, labradorite allows us to stay grounded and centered, even in chaotic or challenging environments. *Caring for Your Artisan Jewelry* To keep your artisan jewelry looking its best, please follow these care instructions: - Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals, cleaning products, or perfumes. - Store your jewelry separately to prevent scratching and tangling. - Clean your jewelry gently with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
