Labradorite and Bar Earrings

The Labradorite and Bar earrings are a sleek, modern design with a touch of earthy labradorite.

Labradorite is a gemstone known for its unique iridescence display, often featuring spectral colors of blue, green, and yellow. It exhibits this play of light due to internal fractures that scatter light. Beyond its beauty, labradorite is also valued for its metaphysical properties, often associated with transformation, protection, and spiritual growth.

Earrings measure 1.75" long and have a gold-plated leverback closure.

Handmade in a fair-trade workshop in Guatemala.

The magic begins in Guatemala, where the husband-and-wife team who lead Altiplano work with a co-op of Mayan people in Lake Atitlan. Lovingly crafted and working together, their work with Altiplano helps provide a positive future for their families. Each piece has a unique journey, from the hands of the makers to being chosen by the wearer as a creative and mutual form of self-expression. For 30 years, Altiplano has brought fair wages and long-term employment to the Mayan people they work with. Their continued regional partnerships support education, family nutrition, and the environment.
