Sterling Silver and Lapis Lazuli Blue Enigma Necklace

Description

The blue enigma lapis lazuli necklace plays with shape and scale. We handcraft it in 950 sterling silver with extra blue lapis lazuli cabochons and beads. Because the stones vary in shape and size, the necklace has a rhythm that feels both bold and original.

Smooth cabochons sit next to round beads, so the eye keeps moving along the strand. Sterling silver beads and carved silver bars then separate the stones and add texture. Finally, an intricate toggle closure completes the design and makes the necklace easy to put on.

The necklace measures 18 inches long, so it rests just at the collarbone. It looks right with an open collar or a strapless dress, and it frames the face with color. For evening, wear it on its own and let the blue take center stage.

Extra blue lapis lazuli is the finest grade of the stone, with deep, even color. Many cultures have associated it with wisdom and truth, which is why it has appeared in royal jewelry for thousands of years. Each stone is natural, so small variations in tone are part of its charm.

Our artisans in Santiago, Chile, cut, set and polish every element by hand. As a result, no two pieces are exactly alike, and each blue enigma lapis lazuli necklace is truly one of a kind. It is a memorable gift for someone who enjoys jewelry with personality.

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.
