The Labradorite Zodiac Necklace | Gold

The Zodiac Necklace is a subtle nod to the patterning and influence of the planets and stars. Astrology is the world’s oldest and most fascinating predictive system, and evidence of the projection of celestial movements has been dated back to the earliest ancient civilizations. This amulet-style design features the 12 zodiac signs and is my take on the fascinating social and cultural influence of these symbols.

Labradorite is the security blanket of gemstones. It’s ideal to wear around people that drain you or situations that should not involve you. Labradorite is a powerful, aura-balancing stone that amplifies positivity, strengthens faith in oneself, and ultimately reminds us to trust the ebbs and flows of the universe.

Gold vermeil is an overlay of gold over a base of sterling silver. The gold colour will age gracefully as the piece lightens to a 10K gold or warm silver colour. The rate of aging depends on care, climate and individual body chemistry, and may vary greatly on a case by case basis. As rings are worn on the hand, and are exposed to more frequent rubbing, they will often age more quickly than necklaces or earrings.

To extend the gold colour of your vermeil pieces, remove when washing hands, showering, applying lotions or perfumes, using cleansers, or working out. Store your jewelry in a dry place, preferably in individual air-tight bags. Do not use chemical jewelry cleansers or polishing cloths on gold vermeil jewelry.

Gold-filled jewelry is made by pressure bonding multiple layers of solid gold over a core of high quality jeweller’s brass, resulting in a long-lasting, gold-coloured product. The gold in gold-filled jewelry is not mixed or blended with the base metal. As a result, those with brass allergies can typically wear gold-filled jewelry without issue. In theory, gold-filled items can retain their gold colour for decades.
