For thousands of years, the stunning blue color of Lapis Lazuli has gotten the attention of artists. Used in the Renaissance, painters ground it to create the color ultramarine. The Ancient Egyptians ground it to make blue cosmetics and saw it as a symbol of the night sky. It has been associated with intellect and truth, strength and courage, wisdom and  royalty. Faceted beads of Lapis are hand knotted to create a wonderful weighted chain which is enhanced with a 14k Gold Vermeil sea shell. This one of a kind piece is sure to stand out.
