The striking shape of this hand made Labradorite Pendant is enhanced by the hand carved sterling silver setting which follow its curving arcs. The pierced and carved Ferns sway across the edge of the stone, while the Moon and Stars rise opposite the plant life.
Tiny lines of dotted color cross the face and back of the stone, like brilliant Meteors showering through the Fall sky. Meteors, or shooting Stars as they are sometimes called, are symbolic of a connection to the Heavens. Often a wish is placed when one is sighted. This can strengthen our connection to the Astral Plane. Imagine the awe our ancestors must have felt, as they looked up into the brilliant star-filled skies
Ferns are a symbol of possibility. Their branching is almost fractal, with repeating patterning from overall structure down to the smallest leaf. Ferns can help you imagine pathways of ideas in their bending fronds. This perspective may be unseen by most, but is available to you in close observation. Use this concept to expand your options and give yourself permission to follow your own patterns.
The Equinox is the point in the annual cycle where the amount of sunlight and nighttime are roughly equal. Equinoxes happen in Spring and Fall as transitional phases of the year between the more active season of Summer and the dormant season of Winter. An Equinox is a point of balance and contemplation for what is to come, as well an opportunity to consider the season most recently passed.
Use this combination of elements to make your own wishes become part of your concentrated focus and intention. Create possibilities by looking at pathways in a new light, and taking a leap of faith to get there.

A note about Labradorite's colors: Every effort is made to capture the best color of the gem when the item is photographed for presentation. This depends largely on the angle of the light on the stone when the image is captured. Labradorite's inherent nature means that under the right conditions, the color flash will be intensely luminous and vibrant. On the other hand, when you view your new piece under some conditions, it could appear very dark, or with even with only minimal color. This visual reminder of life's changeable nature is part of Labradorite's allure. You can incorporate this idea along with the specific emotional symbolism built into each one-of-a-kind, handmade silver setting. Enjoy!
