Lapis Lazuli and Pearl Necklace

Lapis Lazuli, the “sapphire” of the ancients, was favored for its deep blue color, often flecked with “gold” (iron pyrite). The Egyptians regarded lapis lazuli as a sacred stone of celestial origin and a symbol for truth. Regalia made of gold and lapis lazuli* was believed to place the wearer under the protection of the sun and heaven. A bestseller in our Museum Store, this necklace features genuine lapis lazuli tubes, freshwater pearls, gold-plated pewter beads and a lobster-claw clasp. 16” long.

*Each piece is made with genuine semi-precious stones and no two are alike so color may vary slightly between each piece.
