Sterling Silver and Lapis Lazuli Cross

Description

Intricately worked and full of colour, this extra blue lapis lazuli cross features finely detailed 950 sterling silver inlaid with lapis lazuli of an especially intense blue. The contrast of bright silver and deep stone makes the cross stand out beautifully.

Lapis Lazuli World artisans in Chile handcraft each piece, shaping the silver and setting the extra blue lapis lazuli by hand. The stone has been treasured since antiquity and was ground into ultramarine for Renaissance altarpieces, where it often coloured the robes of sacred figures. The detailed silverwork frames each section of stone like a small jewel, giving the cross a rich, layered appearance that rewards a closer look.

At a sizable 2 inches long, including the bail, it is a confident everyday cross and a meaningful gift for confirmations, milestones and holidays.
