Autumn Moon Necklace | #4

“A touch of cold in the Autumn night
I walked abroad, and saw
the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer.
I did not stop to speak, but nodded; 
And round about were the wistful stars
With white faces like town children.”
- T. E. Hulme

Labradorites in all schillers and color arrays, some smokey and furtive, others bold as a crack of lightning. Soft lavenders and snakey greens and wisps of gray. 

Each flashing labradorite gemstone is held by straight sterling silver bezel. The back of the pendant features a cluster of stars and a crescent moon window showing the backs of the stones. Some of the windows will flash brightly, and others remain dark and mysterious.

The gemstones are suspended from hand-forged sterling silver branches, carefully textured and oxidized to look like a late-autumn reaching branch. And along the branch are carefully placed sawn copper leaves with a leaf-print taken from real leaves. 

This pendant has been aged and hand-polished for a textured, organic look, and to bring out the lowlights and accent the stone.

♥ Labradorite is an iridescent gemstone with a fascinating schiller or metallic luster when viewed from certain angles. The base color of labradorite is a smokey gray, but when light strikes the stone in a particular direction, it displays striking rainbow-colored reflections.
