It hangs on a sterling silver trace chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine golden needles of rutile seem to float above a shimmering blue labradorite flash, creating a stone with real depth and movement. As it moves in the light, the blue flash glows beneath the gold, so every glance reveals something new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a gemstone doublet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA doublet is a gemstone made from two layers that are carefully joined together to create something neither stone could achieve on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this stone, a base of labradorite with a beautiful blue flash is cut and polished flat. A thin, clear layer of golden rutilated quartz, a natural quartz crystal with fine golden rutile needles growing inside it, is then shaped to fit exactly on top. The two layers are bonded together and shaped into a smooth, domed cabochon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz top acts like a window. It protects the labradorite beneath and gently magnifies its flash, while the golden needles appear to hover above the blue. Creating a doublet takes great precision, as both layers must be cut to match perfectly. This stone was hand cut by skilled lapidaries in India, where gem cutting is a craft passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden rutilated quartz and blue flash labradorite doublet (an assembled stone, treated), 10x8mm pear cabochon, hand cut in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic bezel frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inch, 1.5mm sterling silver trace chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne of a kind:\u003c\/strong\u003e only one available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade by Breathe Jewellery UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breathe Jewellery UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53463326425399,"sku":"BJ-PD-RUTILATEDLAB","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/5842\/3607\/files\/rutilated-labradorite-pendant-1.jpg?v=1793631974","url":"https:\/\/breathejewelleryuk.co.uk\/products\/sterling-silver-golden-rutilated-quartz-and-labradorite-pendant","provider":"Breathe Jewellery and Holistic's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
