Gold Northern Lights Ring

Carry the shimmering aurora with the Northern Lights ring.

A little iridescent labradorite gemstone sits nestled between the stars. According to Inuit folklore, warriors trapped the Northern Lights (or Aurora Borealis) in rocks along the Labrador coastline in Canada. One freed them with a spear, but some of the lights remained trapped in what became known as labradorite. Often seen in Orkney on dark moonless winter nights lighting up the sky in the north, they are known locally as Merry Dancers.

Orkney's past trading links with Canada led to a Stromness boat called the Harmony bringing a load of labradorite back with it as ballast. The rock was off loaded offshore, and once many houses in Stromness had a lump of this shimmering stone on their front doorstep.

Made from recycled solid 9ct gold and fully hallmarked.
As the gemstones are natural, colours may vary.

The ring measures approx. 9mm wide and is set with a 4mm cabochon labradorite.
