Madagascar Spectrolite is a rare and captivating variety of labradorite, prized for its vivid play of colour, known as labradorescence. Unlike standard labradorite, Spectrolite exhibits a deeper range of hues, from electric blues and greens to flashes of gold and violet. Mined in Madagascar, this gemstone is celebrated for its natural beauty and mystical energy, believed to enhance intuition, creativity, and inner strength.
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
