Lapis Lazuli Beads with Charms

Strands of polished blue beads meet a decorative centerpiece in our lapis lazuli beads with charms. Each necklace in this part of our charms and pendants is strung with natural lapis lazuli beads and finished with a sterling silver charm or medallion that becomes the focal point.

The designs are rich in imagery. The Floral Crown Medallion necklace and the Sacred Peacock Medallion necklace feature detailed silver work set against the blue beads, while the Midnight Lillies and Glorious Blue beaded necklaces use our Extra Blue lapis lazuli, chosen for its especially intense color. The bead necklace with relieved inlaid charm offers a simpler, classic version of the same idea.

All silver is 950 sterling silver, and each necklace is assembled by hand in our workshop in Santiago, Chile, where our family has made lapis jewelry since 1972. Most of the stone comes from Chile’s lapis mine in the Andes. Because it is natural, each bead varies slightly in tone, and many show fine white calcite veining or golden pyrite flecks, giving the strand depth and movement.

These pieces sit somewhere between a beaded necklace and a pendant, so they suit both casual and dressy outfits. Lapis lazuli beads with charms make a generous gift for a birthday or an anniversary, and they come straight from the manufacturer with no middlemen.
