Labradorite Beaded Candy Necklace

The Labradorite Beaded Candy Necklace catches the light in a way no other necklace in your collection will. Faceted 8mm labradorite beads flash with blue, green, and gold as you move, hand-knotted on silk we custom dye purple in our Key West studio and finished with an ethically sourced 14K gold-filled lobster clasp.

At 18 inches, it sits right below the collarbone. It's one of a kind, so the strand pictured is the one you'll receive.

What Is Labradorescence?

Labradorite is a feldspar gemstone known for labradorescence, a flash of color that appears when light reflects off thin layers inside the stone. At one angle a bead looks soft blue-gray, and at the next it lights up with electric blue, green, or gold. The faceted cut on these beads gives them shimmering edges that make that flash even more noticeable.

Purple Silk, Blue Flash

The custom purple silk adds contrast and depth between every bead, bringing out the cool blue tones in the labradorite. It's a moody, modern palette that stands out from typical bright candy necklaces.

Handmade With Fine-Jewelry Techniques

Hand-Knotted Silk

Every bead is knotted by hand, which keeps the stones from rubbing, protects them if the strand breaks, and gives the necklace a soft, fluid drape.

Hand-Coiled French Wire

Where the silk meets the clasp, hand-coiled French wire protects the thread from wear, a detail you won't find on mass-produced necklaces.

Before You Buy

Will it flash in every photo? Labradorite's flash depends on the angle and light, so it may look calmer in some lighting and brighter in others. That's part of its magic.

Can I get a custom length? Yes. Text us before ordering and we can often make it work.

Is the clasp real gold? It's 14K gold-filled, a thick layer of real gold that won't flake like plating.
