i bought some strands of labradorite and i am clueless as where to start.

Any ideas?

what shape and size?

47 ovals 6mm X 8mm approx hole to hole through longest

and pebble shapes random sizes approx 10mm X 14mm hole through shortest width

Heres what I did with labradorite - mixed it with iolite & moonstone and some Swaros on a sterling silver bracelet. Unfortunately it was for someone else but I want to make another just for me!

What's the flash like? Some labradorite can be a bit dull in which case you'll need to "lift" it with something more exciting. If it flashes blues and greens you can combine it with stones (or glass) to match.

I've just finished a piece using Caroline's metallic beads (in silvery green/blue). I know Nia has done a fab piece using some as well.

Labradorite is one of my favourite stones. I like to use it with 'Volcano' Swaros, gunmetal/bronze mix seed beads, black leather, gunmetal wire/findings, 'Black Diamond' Swaros.....not necessarily (but possibly)in the same piece! Carmie

Don't worry about it Anna, just send it to me

OOO I love labradorite, got a project in the December issue of Beadwork that's covered in labradorite teardrops
It goes well with neutral black/grey lampies and I found some lovely grey transparent rainbow seed beads at Westcoast Jewellery that go really nicely with it too... I've put it with black, silver, gunmetal, and crystal beads, it's nice with silver or grey pearls too, and with deep teal blues...

See whether any of these give you ideas:

Lynn, they look fabulous!!! Carmie

Well if that gorgeous lot isn't inspirational, I don't know what is!! Lynn, they are all blinkin' gorgeous
