18K Gold and Lapis Lazuli Small Rectangular Cross

Description

Petite and timeless, this small 18K gold lapis lazuli cross takes our most classic shape and handcrafts it in solid 18K gold with deep blue Lapis Lazuli.

Lapis Lazuli World artisans in Chile work each cross by hand, finishing it with a solid gold bail and back so it is as beautiful from behind as from the front. Lapis lazuli has been prized since antiquity, and Renaissance painters ground it into ultramarine for the robes of sacred figures, a fitting heritage for a cross.

Its small size makes it ideal for children, for discreet everyday wear or for layering with other pendants. It is a perfect gift for a baptism, first communion or confirmation, and it is available in all our stones.

Exceptional, completely natural lapis lazuli

All our lapis lazuli is of exceptional grade and completely natural. We are one of the few jewelers who never use synthetic stones and never dye our lapis to mask poor quality – practices that are all too common, as much of the lapis lazuli sold today is dyed, reconstituted or imitation stone. That is our difference.
