Solar Flare Bracelet
Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, has been working with a yellow set of beads made by Alaska Boro. Her “Solar Flare” bracelet makes use of labradorite rondelles in combination with faceted polygon shaped hematite. Catherine stated: “The piece is called "Solar Flare" because of the wonderful yellow color and also because of the flash of the labradorite rondelles.”
The labradorite was handpicked for its blue flash which complements the blue within the handmade yellow boro glass beads. Labradorite can produce a colorful play of light that is called labradorescence. These intense colors often range from a typical blue/violet through green, yellow and orange.
