A small pair of raw stones suggests that quiet kind of change, so Keen suits anyone who likes a discreet piece with a moving flash. The meaning is yours to choose, and the earrings make no promise of a particular result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people give a pair of labradorite studs to a friend who is starting a new chapter.

Remove the earrings before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter wear, wipe the studs with a soft dry cloth and store them in a separate pouch. Keeping them apart from harder jewelry protects the raw stones and the finish, so the flash keeps its clear look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Modern Energy Lab","offers":[{"title":"White Rhodium Plated","offer_id":50639208153153,"sku":"MEL-T20-52573248323955","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Plated","offer_id":50639208185921,"sku":"MEL-T20-52573248356723","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18kt Rose Gold Plated","offer_id":50639208218689,"sku":"MEL-T20-52573248291187","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/3778\/6177\/files\/mel-keen-labradorite-earrings-01-b9fb30b4a2.jpg?v=1791575015","url":"https:\/\/modernenergylab.com\/products\/keen-labradorite-earrings","provider":"Modern Energy Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
