Description

This lapis lazuli and amber necklace brings together two stones with opposite moods. Deep ocean blue meets warm honey gold, and solid 950 sterling silver frames them both.

The front holds three sections of inlaid lapis lazuli, so the strongest color sits right at the center of the neckline. On each side, our artisans hammer the silver by hand and then inlay amber cabochons. That hammered finish catches the light and adds texture next to the smooth, polished stones.

Although the design looks bold, it wears comfortably. The necklace is built in hinged sections, which lets it follow the curve of the neck instead of sitting stiffly. A solid 950 sterling silver back closes each lapis section, and a security clasp keeps the piece in place.

At 19 inches long, it rests just below the collarbone. That length works well with open necklines, simple blouses and little black dresses. It also makes a memorable gift for someone who loves color, because no two pieces of natural lapis or amber are exactly alike.

Our family workshop in Santiago has inlaid stone in silver since 1972, and this necklace shows that craft at its most generous. If you love blue and gold together, this lapis lazuli and amber necklace is a lasting choice.
