Green-Aqua Peardop Labradorite Pendant
Green-Aqua Peardop Labradorite Pendant
Wow! Now to try and find the words...... With the wind whistling about, I found a lovely spot in nature, and set about crafting a framework for this gorgeous, super-flashy piece of labradorite. Of course, the colour changes, depending on the light, and surroundings, but for the most part, the bottom part of the stone is a light olive-green colour, with a gorgeous aqua-blue at the top. On the left side, near the bottom, there's a very small area that, from certain angles, doesn't reflect the light in the same way as the rest of the face of the stone. It really doesn't detract from the overall appearance of this gorgeous pendant, but there are many photos taken, with close-ups of the area, so you can see for yourself. Approximate dimensions: Length 53.5mm Width 23mm Depth 5.5mm This pendant truly is spectacular, and would make such an amazing gift, either for yourself or someone else dear to your heart. I recommend you wear it on one of your favourite sterling silver chains. You’ll receive your pendant beautifully presented, tied into a classic Kathryn Jane Design jewellery box with silver-coloured thread. If purchasing as a gift, and you’d like the pendant presented on a chain, silver-coloured display chains and sterling silver belcher chains are available. The display chains are for presentation purposes only, (not for wearing the pendant on). The sterling silver chains are generally 45cm and 60cm long, but please feel free to contact me if you'd like a chain made to a unique length. The jump rings at each end are pinched closed with the greatest of care. They are not, however, soldered. The captivating beauty of labradorite is truly spectacular, and provided by the Schiller Effect, when vibrant, iridescent colours burst from within the stone as light strikes and reflects off it at just the right angle. These iridescent colourful flashes seem to open up magical portals inside, what can first appear to be, fairly nondescript stones. For each Kathryn Jane Design creation, labradorite has been carefully selected so the greatest display of colour is when the stone is in an upright position, as when being worn as a pendant. When attempting to photograph labradorite pendants from the same direction the light is coming from, a shadow, and sometimes reflection, is cast over the highly polished surface of the stone’s face, making it very difficult to fully capture the glorious display of colour. The most success seems to be when photos are taken on a slight angle. In different lighting conditions, some stones may appear grey, black or semi-transparent. The structure of labradorite consists of lines of cleavage within that can, at times, look like fractures that carry through to the surface of the stone. Most often, these lines are fully within the stone, beneath the smooth, highly polished surface. An attempt has been made to photograph this pendant in a variety of natural lighting conditions, both indoors and out, without the colours showing, and then with the light revealing the amazing display of colour in all its magnificence. If you’d like to see further images, please feel free to contact Kathryn. Please be mindful that individual colour settings on monitors or device screens may alter the appearance of the colour of pendants.

Flashy green, oval labradorite gemstone crystal pendant, lovingly handcrafted into a pendant with sterling silver wire. Twisted wire spiral at top centre. White satin background.
Green-Gold Labradorite Pendant
This beautiful oval labradorite pendant beseeches us to seek further, beyond the veil. At first there's a hint of mystery, as if veiled in the mist, but when it catches the light, a brilliance of colour erupts from within - greens, golds, and an inky dark sash edged in electric blue. Life often asks the same of us - to pause, breathe, and go deeper. I had such a lot of fun photographing this beauty. Please read the captions on the photographs to appreciate how the colours in the environment were being reflected off the surface of the stone.

Sale! Moonstone Drop Pendant
Moonstone Drop Pendant
I had such a lot of fun creating this moonstone pendant, with the free-swinging dangle drop. This isn't my normal style of wrapping at all, and perhaps I got a bit carried away . . .  What do you think? After the flowing of creativity had abated, and I landed 'back in this realm',  I wondered if, perhaps, I should remodel this wee sweetie, and limit it to a single dangle. The beautiful little round moonstone kept flashing at me though, so I was very reluctant to take it out of the picture. And so, here it is, a very unique double-drop moonstone pendant, ready to adorn the neck of a very unique soul. Approximate dimensions: Length 55mm Width 13mm Depth 7mm This pendant would make such an amazing gift, either for yourself or someone else dear to your heart. I recommend you wear it on one of your favourite sterling silver chains. You’ll receive your pendant beautifully presented, tied into a classic Kathryn Jane Design jewellery box with silver-coloured thread. If purchasing as a gift, and you’d like the pendant presented on a chain, silver-coloured display chains and sterling silver belcher chains are available.

Kathryn would love to create a unique pendant just for you, using your special taonga (favourite stone) or from her range of beautiful gemstones. Beautiful larimar gemstone crystal with view over farmland and sea out to Kapiti Island, New Zealand.
Your Unique Pendant
Would you like a pendant made, meticulously handcrafted with the highest intentions for love, growth, empowerment, and joy? It’s an honour to offer personal, heartfelt service to all who appreciate wearing authentic, ancient stones, reminding us of our connection to our ancient Mother Earth, and those who simply love wearing unique, handcrafted items of beauty. I hope all Kathryn Jane Design pendants serve as reminders to breathe, and embody the powerful, renewing energies of Nature. Whether for yourself or a loved one, it would be an honour to create something unique and deeply meaningful, drawing from my range of carefully hand-selected shaped cabochons or tumbled freeform stones, or transforming your special taonga (favourite gemstone treasures) into stunning pieces of jewellery. Please be assured, your treasures will be handled with the utmost care and respect. My creation time is sacred. Whenever possible, I venture into the heart of Nature to create, where the powerful, yet tranquil, energy most supports my intuitive creative process, all the while mindfully honouring the integrity and unique expression of the gemstone, and holding the highest intentions for you, the eventual recipient of the pendant. To complete the process, the individual ‘threads’ of the silver framework are gathered together and folded over to create an ankh-shaped loop from which the pendant will be suspended on a chain. This feels so highly symbolic – like gathering up and integrating the multiple facets of one’s life to form cohesion, supporting and framing an authentic expression of one’s unique self. In order for this glorious artistic expression to be transformed into a wearable pendant, the ends of the threads, (wires), need to be trimmed, then tethered securely to each other. I love the metaphor of this – the rich tapestry of our past experiences, growing through experiences that weren’t necessarily ‘pretty’, provides the strength and backbone that allows our lights to now shine so spectacularly. All pendants are handcrafted with the greatest of care to find the balance between artistic expression on the outward facing side, with security and durability on the reverse. Sometimes it can be difficult to choose which gemstone we'd like to wear as a pendant, because they are all so incredibly beautiful! If you'd like inspiration to help choose, oracle cards are available. Most commonly used are the Liquid Crystal Oracle by Justin Moikeha Asar. The price to create your pendant will depend upon stone used, size, amount of silver used, intricacy of design, and time spent creating. Charges generally range from approximately $90 to $350. Contact me for further pricing details for your unique project. Looking forward to collaborating with you in order to create a beautiful, unique pendant, specifically for your needs. Here’s a wee peek at a selection of the various cabochons and tumbled gemstone crystals available to be transformed into pendants. If you're searching for a particular stone, please feel free to ask. There's a chance I have something in my vast collection. I'm also able to provide further information and photographs for anything that may catch your eye, (or heart). In particular, if you're interested in labradorite, please contact me. (Labradorite is being transformed into pendants so often, that I struggle to keep the cabochon album up to date.) For inspiration for your new pendant's design, see Previous Pendants. Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
