Small, detailed and full of personality, our lapis lazuli zoo collection charms bring animals from land, sea and sky into your jewelry. Each one is sculpted in 950 sterling silver and inlaid with natural lapis by our artisans in Santiago, Chile.
The menagerie includes a butterfly, a dragonfly, a frog, an owl, a dolphin, a sea turtle and a sea shell, as well as a scarab pendant inspired by ancient Egypt. Some designs go further: the Antawara butterfly has its own outline, while the Danae butterfly and the Nayeli hummingbird combine several stones for a multicolored effect. The Ayilen scarab is convertible and can be worn as a brooch or as a pendant.
Many people choose an animal for what it is traditionally associated with, such as the butterfly with transformation, the owl with wisdom or the sea turtle with a long journey, and others simply pick the creature they love most. Within our charms and pendants, these are the pieces that tend to become gifts: for a child’s first chain, a friend who loves the ocean, or anyone who collects charms on a bracelet.
Wear one on a fine chain, add several to a link bracelet or group them on a cord. Because every stone is natural, each charm shows its own shade of blue, white calcite veining and golden pyrite flecks, so it is unique. Our family workshop has made jewelry since 1972, and we offer our lapis lazuli zoo collection charms directly as the manufacturer.
