Labradorite is known for its transformative properties and connection to higher consciousness, making it a powerful stone for personal growth and spiritual awakening. abradorite is associated with the zodiac signs of Leo, Scorpio, and Sagittarius, enhancing their innate qualities of creativity, intuition, and adventure.
design: A cushion-cut labradorite cabochon sits at the center of a pierced scrollwork setting shaped like an eight-point flower, with a matching open scroll pattern carried down the shoulders of the band.
size: The flower-shaped setting measures about 0.65" in diameter; sold individually in ring sizes 6–10.
material: Sterling silver (925), natural labradorite cabochon
features: Cushion-shaped labradorite cabochon, pierced scrollwork flower setting, oxidized (antiqued) silver finish for contrast in the recesses, 925 hallmark stamp
care: Clean with a soft polishing cloth and a dry cloth after wear, and remove the ring before swimming, showering, or applying lotions and perfumes, since chemicals can dull both the oxidized finish and the stone's surface.
disclaimer: Because labradorite is a natural stone and the silver is oxidized by hand, the color flash, banding, and shading of the background will vary slightly from ring to ring.
The Story
This ring's setting is built around an openwork scroll motif, a style of silversmithing where the metal is pierced and shaped into curling, vine-like lines rather than cast as a solid block. The result is a setting that reads as dense and ornamental up close but lets light pass through it, so the flower shape and the scrollwork underneath stay legible instead of collapsing into a flat mass of silver.
The eight-point, flower-like framing around the stone is a common device in gemstone ring design: repeating petal or point shapes create a radial symmetry that draws the eye straight to the center stone while giving the silversmith room to add texture, small granulated beads, and curling scrollwork in the surrounding metal.
The oxidized, or antiqued, finish seen in the recesses of the scrollwork is a deliberate silversmithing step, not tarnish. A patina is applied and then polished back off the raised surfaces, so the high points of the design stay bright while the carved-out lines stay dark — a technique used across many silversmithing traditions to make pierced and engraved work stand out.
A ring like this starts with sheet and wire silver, which is sawn, filed, and soldered by hand into the pierced scroll pattern before the bezel is shaped to hold the labradorite cabochon. The stone is set and burnished in place, then the whole piece is oxidized, and a silversmith polishes the raised surfaces back to a bright finish while leaving the recessed scrollwork dark — a slow, hands-on process that depends on a steady eye for where the pattern should catch the light.

Labradorite is prized for labradorescence, the flash of blue, green, or gold that moves across the stone's gray base as it catches the light — the result of light refracting through thin internal layers in the mineral. That shifting play of color is also why the stone has long been nicknamed a stone of insight or inner light in gem lore; each cabochon is cut and polished to bring out its strongest flash, which is part of why no two stones look quite alike.
Questions & Answers
What sizes does this ring come in?
It's available in sizes 6 through 10, sold individually.
Will my labradorite look exactly like the one pictured?
Not exactly — labradorite is a natural stone, so the color flash, banding, and background shading are unique to each ring.
Is this real sterling silver?
Yes, it's stamped 925 to confirm sterling silver content.
How do I keep the oxidized finish looking crisp?
Wipe it down with a soft cloth after wear and avoid soaking it in water, lotion, or perfume, which can dull both the finish and the stone.
Why is part of the silver dark and part bright?
The dark areas are an oxidized patina applied on purpose to define the scrollwork; the high points are polished bright so the pierced pattern reads clearly.
