Labradorite Ring

I made this little number last night. Labradorite is a gorgeous minerals that display labradorescence in the presence of light refracting in the internal crystal structures. This effect can best be seen in pic5 where I show a larger labradorite stone; unfortunately, the bigger stone was too big to be made into a ring. This smaller labradorite stone is a great size and shape for a ring with a relatively flat bottom. The ring is completely wrapped in silver wire, featuring different patterns of weaving. For instance, the ring has an interesting weave pattern between three strands of wire (pic7) that is different than the weaves seen in pic1 of the stone. This ring looks beautiful on, accented with colourful glimpses of labradorescence.
