THE LABRADORITE PENDANT

Subtle at first glance, labradorite reveals its character through movement and light. Within its naturally smoky surface, flashes of blue, green and gold emerge and disappear as the pendant moves, creating a changing interplay of colour that makes the gemstone captivatingly individual.

Set in a handmade 18ct yellow gold setting, the stone is framed by a simple, considered composition that allows its natural qualities to remain prominent. Polished gold surfaces bring warmth and reflection to the design, contrasting with the cooler tones and atmospheric depth of the labradorite. Its fluid variation gives the pendant an understated sense of movement, with no two views quite the same.

Labradorite is known for its mesmerising labradorescence — flashes of blue, green, gold and violet that seem to appear from within the stone as it catches the light. Each gemstone carries its own subtle pattern of colour, making every piece naturally individual.

This striking labradorite pendant reflects Rudolf Heltzel’s belief in allowing the character of a gemstone to guide the design. Traditional goldsmithing techniques, carefully considered proportions and finely polished 18ct yellow gold create a piece of Irish fine jewellery that celebrates the natural beauty of labradorite.

Every pendant is handcrafted in our studio at 10 Patrick Street, Kilkenny. The pieces shown here offer a glimpse into the wider Rudolf Heltzel collection. Book a private consultation to discover more of our fine jewellery, or begin a conversation about creating a piece uniquely your own.
