Lapis Jewelry
Lapis jewelry is timeless, classic, as much admired today as it was in the Ancient World. Lapis lazuli can be seen in the art and artifacts of ancient Sumer and Babylon as well as ancient Egypt. The very best lapis lazuli is intense blue with pyrite inclusions that glitter gold. The pyrite identifies the stone as genuine and unless it is overwhelming, it does not detract from the value of the lapis. The best lapis still comes from Afghanistan although lapis can be found in other parts of the world as well, including the USA.
 Just Before Dawn
Beautiful smooth lapis nuggets form the basis of this lapis bracelet. The nuggets are a dark blue with a slight sprinkling of pyrite. Beautiful Bali sterling silver beads and accents have varied designs to create complexity and texture. And for a special splash of colour, borosilicate lampwork beads with a deep lapis blue are ignited with a deep, dusky peach colour. You'll love this colour mix. Sterling silver toggle clasp.

Keep your lapis jewelry away from intense heat as it will discolour the stone and take away the glitter of the pyrite.
 Night Moves
Lapis is the perfect foil for the lampwork beads of glass artist James Derrick Reeves in this lapis lazuli bracelet made also with sterling silver and rose quartz. A wavy oval lapis has glittering pyrite - and the small blue coins toward one side of the sterling silver toggle clasp are from Afghanistan. The rose quartz melon bead picks up the pink in the lampwork beads, and sterling silver flower charms and rose quartz bead charms add interest. Lapis jewelry has often included other elements and this bracelet keeps that tradition.
