Labradorite, Emerald, Lapis and Pearl Necklace
I made this necklace for my niece for Christmas, it is a rose cut labradorite set in silver with black labradorite, labradorite, faceted emerald, oval emerald, faceted lapis lazuli and freshwater pearl beads. She loves it, it is very dark and rich in colours and this makes the pearl beads stand out.
It was also her birthday on Christmas eve so I made her a ring as well, will be posting that later. More jewelry by me on my website.
