Labradorite offers striking rainbow-colored reflections when light hits them from a particular direction. The labradorescence, or schiller, in these semiprecious beads offers the same stunning visual effect created by gasoline on water, or light on the delicate wings of tropical butterflies. Also known as black moonstone, falcon's eye, and labordite, this semiprecious gemstone is a sodium-rich variety of plagioclase feldspar found in igneous or metamorphic rocks. It is in the same gemstone family as moonstone and spectrolite (a high-quality labradorite mined in Finland), but in shades of gray. Labradorite is believed to detoxify the body, slow the aging process, elevate consciousness, and protect a person's aura. Many say the stone heals mental confusion and indecision.    This batch of labradorite is darker than most. For even darker black labradorite beads, see larvikite (in the related products links below).

With this specialty crimping tool, you don't need as much pressure on the crimp beads as you may have used with other pliers. Too much pressure can damage the tips of crimping pliers, and may cause the crimp to cut through beading cable. Pliers eventually wear out and may break. Rings & Things backs these crimp pliers with a six month warranty. When handled without excessive pressure, they last much longer. To use crimp pliers, string desired pattern, add crimp bead and finishing finding (jump ring, split ring, bullion or wire protector), then use the crimper section (1) of the crimp pliers to secure the stringing cable. (Best results are achieved when the two cable pieces are positioned on either side of the center dimple.) Use the rounder section (2) for final shaping. This gives you a compact, rounded crimp bead, which (if desired) can be hidden inside large-hole bead, a crimp cover, or even a fold-over bead tip.

  These bar and ring sets can be clasped with one hand making  them ideal for bracelets and watches.    Please note: The last few beads you put near the clasp should  be small, to make sure the bar will go all the way through  the ring (making the clasp easier to close).    Size listed is outside diameter of the ring (excluding its  loop) and the length of the bar. Price is per set, rather than per  piece.      Toggle Clasps and Bracelets    It's true! Toggles can be clasped with one hand, so they are good  for bracelets, including watch bracelets. Here's a hint to help  make sure no one loses one of your creations: When using toggle  clasps for bracelets, the bracelet must fit the customer fairly  well. If the bracelet is too loose, a short toggle bar might wiggle  itself out of its loop. Longer bars can help solve the  problem, but won't eliminate it. To size your bracelets to your  customers' wrists you might want to use a few chain links at the  end, between the clasp and the last beads. Then you can remove or  add links at the time of sale. Or if you really have a good thing  going, make 6.5", 7", and 8" versions of your best-selling patterns  and colors of bracelets.
