These handcrafted statement earrings are a piece from part 2 of The Midnight Meadow; a jewellery collection inspired by a midnight sky over fields of green, illuminated by the magical glow of the moon and stars above. This particular pair features two beautiful pieces of teardrop shaped Moonstone and two beautiful pieces of rose cut Labradorite. All four gems shimmer with rainbows in the light.

💎 MOONSTONE LORE:
Moonstone has been used in Roman jewellery for nearly two thousand years, as the Romans believed it was born from solidified rays of the moon. It has used even longer in the Orient and has always been a sacred stone in India with a special significance for lovers, and is a traditional wedding gift there. It was a popular choice for jewellers in the Art Nouveau period, and in Europe was believed to reconcile estranged lovers and to cure sleeplessness.
Legendary as the Traveller's stone, Moonstone is great for protection at night or on the water. It is a great stone to keep during a first love or any new relationship. It helps creativity, confidence and self-expression, and helps its wearer be more successful in their day to day working activities. It is also considered to be the ultimate fertility crystal.
💎 LABRADORITE LORE:
The Inuit peoples claim Labradorite fell from the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis. In many cultures it is considered to be a Stone of Magic. Often a crystal used by shamans, diviners and healers throughout history, it is recommended for those who travel and embrace the universe seeking knowledge and guidance.
Labradorite is also an excellent stone to be used in aiding self-discovery, as it is can awaken one's own awareness of inner spirit, intuition and psychic abilities.
Labradorite is also the most powerful protector of the mineral kingdom, creating a shielding force throughout the aura and strengthening natural energies from within. It protects against the negativity and misfortunes of this world, and provides safe exploration into alternate levels of consciousness and in facilitating visionary experiences from the past or the future.
