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.
A Glimpse of Heaven
A very simple lapis bracelet created with our favorite sharply faceted lapis nuggets and some of our favorite lampwork beads from Robin Weber. But don't let the simplicity fool you - the bracelet is a stunner with beautiful rich blue lapis and sterling silver. Wear this one alone or layered with another lapis bracelet or maybe just a strong silver chain. Nice chunky lapis bracelet.

Zahara
Double strand lapis jewelry features pretty lampwork beads (two with the faintest touch of coral) and sterling silver from the Karen Hill Tribes. Faceted lapis squares and nuggets are especially pretty and rich in colour. The clasp is special, too, with lapis cabochons set in the ends of the toggle bar. Another cabochon lapis stone hangs beside the toggle clasp. A must if you are a real fan of lapis jewelry!

Slow Dance
I always think of lapis jewelry first with gold, perhaps the Sumerian and Egyptian influences. The gold picks up the pyrite inherent in lapis and makes it especially appealing. This lapis bracelet is created from large lapis beads: two rounds of different sizes and a large oval with a round lapis charm, nugget, and pillow. The lapis is accented by 14 karat gold filled beads and toggle clasp. This is a bracelet who want their lapis pure and unadulterated. All genuine lapis and 14 karat gold fill.

Starfire
Lapis bracelet is a favorite mixed with sparkling sunstone and boro lampwork beads by Frozenfyre. Sterling silver accents and charms of both lapis and sunstone add to the allure of this lapis bracelet. If you like lapis jewelry and sunstone jewelry, then you'll love lapis and sunstone mixed together. And the borosilicate lampwork beads pick up the colours of both gemstones. Sterling silver sturdy toggle is the closure.

Keep your lapis jewelry away from intense heat as it will discolour the stone and take away the glitter of the pyrite.

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.

Lapis earrings are great fun! First, they are made with genuine lapis, denim lapis, carved fish which hang on a long sterling chain as though hanging from a fishing pole. Then the posts are sterling with a swirled design with a lapis cabochon in the center. Posts come with a metal and plastic disk that keep earrings on securely.
