Lapis Lazuli Jewelry
Lapis lazuli jewelry is timeless, classic, as much admired today as it was in the Ancient World. Lapis lazuli can be seen in the art and artifacts of ancient Sumer and Babylon as well as ancient Egypt. The very best lapis lazuli is intense blue with pyrite inclusions that glitter gold. The pyrite identifies the stone as genuine and unless it is overwhelming, it does not detract from the value of the lapis, but rather adds to its beauty.
The best lapis still comes from Afghanistan although lapis can be found in other parts of the world as well, including the USA.

Lapis Lazuli Bracelets

Yes, I thought it was odd, the clear quartz crystal with the lapis lazuli flecked with golden pyrite, but the stones had gravitated together on my workbench somehow and there they were next to each other looking positively beautiful. What could I do? I had to put them together in a bracelet with golden accents. Thus, this bracelet with its large faceted flat nugget, a lovely blue with pyrite dotted throughout and the large fluted 14 karat gold-filled beads. A couple of oval lapis charms so the big lapis nugget wouldn't be lonely and here it is - an unusual bracelet that will render your wrist delectable. Personal favorite - couldn't you tell?!
