Earrings with Labradorite - Palladium-plated brass - OCTA TERRA

Labradorite – the stone of mystery, transformation, and hidden light ✨

Labradorite from Madagascar is a stone of magic and intuition. At first glance it looks calm and gray, but in the light it reveals blues, greens, golds, and violets reminiscent of the northern lights. In the OCTA TERRA collection, it is given a form that does not divide it: one whole stone, hand-cut into an octagon, with no resin-set chips and no tensor ring. The octagon is the spiritual eight – a sign of infinity, continuity, and endless flow.

🌍 Origin and nature of the stone

• Country of origin: Madagascar
• Mineral group: Feldspar
• Hardness: 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale

Labradorite is distinguished by labradorescence – an iridescent play of colors that appears on its surface when light hits it. For centuries, it has been regarded as a stone of magic, intuition, and energetic protection, and it accompanied shamans, healers, and spiritual travelers. According to tradition, it helps one see what is hidden – in the outer world and within oneself – and understand the deeper laws of life.

💎 VEL LEES handcrafted geometry – the OCTA TERRA octagon

In OCTA TERRA, the stone is not an insert in a frame. It is a whole: one piece, eight faces, one axis. The eight facets refract light at eight angles, so the earring sparkles with every turn of the head instead of shining evenly.

• Cut: octagon, one whole stone
• Stone size: 8 × 8 mm (± 0.4 mm – hand-cut stone)
• Bezel cup: 9.5 × 9.5 mm, height 2.3 mm
• Fastening: stud post with a butterfly back (push back)
• Setting material: palladium-plated brass
• Protective coating: Infinity 8 Protect
• Weight: approx. 2.1 g (pair with stones; settings alone 1.25 g)
• Octagon (8): symbol of continuity, wholeness, and harmony of flow

The octagon sits between the square and the circle: the square stands for the four directions and the earth, while the circle has no beginning and no end. That is why, for centuries, octagons were used to build thresholds between the one and the other – the Baptistery of St. John in Florence and the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem are both octagonal. Here, you wear that same threshold close to your face.

The palladium coating is sealed with Infinity 8 Protect – an additional electroplated layer that slows down wear in everyday use.

✨ Symbolism of the OCTA TERRA collection

OCTA TERRA is built on one principle: one natural stone, cut into an octagon, in a brass setting. Seventeen stones to choose from, earrings and pendants, and the setting in two finishes: gold plating in a gold tone and palladium plating in a silver tone. This piece is palladium-plated.

The eight in the name stands for eight sides that close into a circle – a form with no beginning and no end. The spiritual 8 speaks of continuity: intention does not work in bursts, it keeps coming back.

Every piece turns out different. A natural stone has its own shade, pattern, and inclusions, and with hand-cutting the size may vary by half a millimeter. For the same reason, the weight may differ by a few hundredths of a gram. The photos show the pattern and color; your stone will turn out a little different.

📌 Summary

These earrings with labradorite from the OCTA TERRA collection are two whole 8 × 8 mm stones, cut into octagons and set in palladium-plated brass. An amulet of intuition, protection, and transformation – for spiritually sensitive and creative people.
