Labradorite Teardrop Locket (Opens)

Labradorite Teardrop Locket – Opening White Brass Pendant on Suede Cord

A little bit jewellery, a little bit secret-keeper, this Labradorite teardrop locket opens and features a polished Labradorite teardrop cabochon at its centre. The cabochon measures approximately 1.5cm, while the locket itself is made from white brass – brass coated in silver – and comes on an approximately 80cm suede cord necklace.

Labradorite is loved for the flashes of colour that can appear as the stone catches the light. Because this optical effect depends on the internal structure of each natural piece and the viewing angle, every cabochon has its own character and flash will vary from stone to stone.

A Labradorite Locket with a Hidden Interior

The opening design gives this necklace more personality than a standard stone pendant. Closed, it reads as an ornate teardrop locket with Labradorite as the focal point; opened, it reveals the concealed interior that gives a locket its distinctive charm.

The approximately 80cm suede cord creates a long, relaxed drop that suits the pendant’s bohemian styling. White brass provides a silver-toned setting around the Labradorite without competing with the stone’s natural colour play.

What Creates Labradorite’s Famous Flash?

Labradorite belongs to the feldspar mineral group. Its best-known feature is labradorescence, an optical effect that can produce flashes of blue, green, gold and other colours when light strikes the stone from particular angles.

The colour is not simply a layer of pigment sitting on the surface. Light interacts with extremely fine internal structures within the feldspar, producing the shifting effect. That is why a Labradorite cabochon can look relatively subdued from one angle and suddenly light up when it is tilted.

Did You Know? Labradorite’s Colour Can Seem to Switch On and Off

One of the strangest things about Labradorite is how dramatically its appearance can change simply by moving it. A polished stone may look grey, smoky or greenish when viewed straight on, then reveal an intense streak or patch of colour with a small change in angle.

This is why photographs can never tell the entire story of Labradorite. The effect is directional: the stone, light source and viewer all influence what is visible at any particular moment.

Lapidaries pay close attention to this when cutting Labradorite. Orienting a cabochon well can help position the strongest colour play where it is most visible from the face of the finished stone. In jewellery, that makes movement part of the experience – the pendant can change character as you wear it.

Labradorite Meaning & Traditional Associations

Within contemporary crystal traditions, Labradorite is commonly associated with intuition, transformation, protection, imagination and self-discovery. Its shifting appearance has naturally contributed to its reputation as a stone connected with mystery and change.

The locket format adds another symbolic layer. Lockets have long been used as personal jewellery for keeping small, meaningful items close, making the combination particularly appealing for someone who enjoys jewellery with a private or sentimental element.

Styling a Long Labradorite Locket

At approximately 80cm, the suede cord gives this necklace an easy longer-line silhouette. It works particularly well over plain tops, dresses and layered clothing where the teardrop pendant has room to stand out.

The mix of natural stone, suede and silver-toned white brass gives it a distinctly bohemian feel. Wear it alone as a statement piece or combine it with shorter necklaces for a layered look.

Caring for Labradorite, White Brass & Suede

Keep the necklace dry and avoid perfumes, lotions, household chemicals and abrasive cleaners. Labradorite can be scratched or chipped by harder materials, so store the pendant where it will not repeatedly knock against other jewellery.

White brass is brass coated in silver, so its appearance can change with wear and exposure to moisture. Wipe the metal gently with a soft dry cloth rather than using aggressive polishing products. Keep the suede cord away from water where possible to help preserve its texture and appearance.
