Labradorite pendant in silver 6.9g, Madagascar

This luxury piece of jewelry is made of rhodium-plated silver. Rhodium plating or "antioxidation treatment" is a new way of surface treatment of jewelry. Silver oxidizes in the air, as a result it turns black, loses its luster, and its durability and quality decrease. Rhodium plating of silver is a technological procedure (plating) that serves to protect silver against blackening, yellowing and loss of luster.

Labradorite is a mineral from the feldspar group. Labradorite's iridescent (changing) play of colors with a metallic sheen is striking. This so-called labradorescence is produced by interference and reflection on submicroscopic lamellae. This glitter is mainly blue, purple and green, sometimes other colors are also present. In rare cases, the luster includes the entire color spectrum, such a decorative stone is then called spectrolite.
