For quite a while we have been wanting to do some traditional Aztec style obsidian plugs and labret pieces with a gold leaf inlay. Many antique labrets and plugs from the Mesoamerican region feature hammered gold accents and gold leafed onto other materials. We have a quartz Aztec labret in the Onetribe antiquities collection that features a concave in the face which likely housed a gold inlay centuries ago.
Jared’s wedding provided the perfect opportunity to give this style a spin. He created these 1.5″ concave obsidian teardrops and matching 3/4″ concave oval obsidian labret with 23.5kt gold leaf inlay for the occasion.
A goofy shot of the jewelry being worn while driving aimlessly on the honeymoon.
This is a style we will continue to experiment with and we can now offer obsidian and jade with gold leaf for custom orders, preferably in traditional styles (Mayan flares, concave labrets, etc).
Very Nice!!!:)
Gorgeous !!!!
absolutely stunning!
So beautiful! These are such stunning pieces. I really adore the look of many of the labrets on this site. And those plugs are so astonishing! Really great workmanship and wonderful artistry.
LOVE
They look phenomenal!
Well done. Shiny but not too flashy. I especially like the contrast of colors. And congrats on tying the knot!
