Care Instructions for the Bracelet:

Labradorite is celebrated for its striking labradorescence, where it displays vivid flashes of color, ranging from blues and greens to yellows and oranges. This optical effect is caused by the internal structure of the stone, where layers of minerals create light interference, giving the stone its mystical, shimmering appearance.
Composition
Labradorite is a type of plagioclase feldspar, composed primarily of silicon, oxygen, aluminum, calcium, and sodium. Its chemical formula, (Ca, Na)(Al, Si)4O8, reflects this mineral mix, which creates the iridescent effect for which labradorite is known.
Synthesis and Sustainability at ÎLE KEKERE
At ÎLE KEKERE, we prioritise sustainability and ethical craftsmanship. That’s why our labradorite stones are synthesised to replicate the beautiful labradorescence of natural labradorite. This approach not only provides the same breathtaking visual appeal but also supports our commitment to environmentally conscious practices.
Why Synthesised Labradorite?
Ethical Sourcing: Natural gemstone mining can be detrimental to the environment and local communities. By using synthesised labradorite, we reduce the ecological footprint of our jewellery production, avoiding practices that can lead to habitat destruction and exploitation of resources.
Sustainability: Creating labradorite in a controlled environment reduces the need for mining, promoting a more sustainable approach to jewellery creation. Synthesised gemstones have the same structural and optical properties as natural ones, but with far less environmental impact.
Consistency & Quality: Synthesised labradorite offers consistency in quality, colour, and luminescence. Each piece captures the mesmerising iridescence that labradorite is known for, without the variability that sometimes comes with natural stones.
Benefits and Uses Outside of Jewellery
Beyond its aesthetic value in jewellery, labradorite is revered for its spiritual and healing properties. It’s believed to be a stone of transformation and protection, helping individuals navigate change and harness their intuitive abilities.
