Cluster 5 mm Bead Necklace

Description

Playful and luxurious, this cluster 5 mm lapis necklace is a triple 950 sterling silver necklace. It carries 76 natural 5 mm lapis lazuli beads, and they gather into small clusters along the strands.

Three fine silver strands give the piece a light, layered look. Meanwhile, the clusters of deep blue create rhythm and texture as they shift gently with every movement. We assemble each necklace by hand, so the beads sit evenly along each strand.

Lapis lazuli has been treasured since antiquity, when Egyptian royalty wore it as a sign of status. Later, painters ground it into ultramarine for Renaissance art. These small beads carry the same intense blue in a modern, wearable form.

At 19.5 inches (50 cm), the necklace sits just below the collarbone. That makes it perfect with open necklines, sundresses or a simple silk blouse. It also layers well over a plain knit top when you want a touch of color.

Because the strands are fine, the cluster 5 mm lapis necklace stays comfortable for long evenings. It is a distinctive gift for someone who loves delicate yet eye-catching jewelry.
