Lapis Lazuli

A rock has several minerals. Lapis lazuli is a rock, which means this ancient gem contains three minerals in varying amounts: lazurite, calcite, and pyrite. Sometimes, it also contains one or more of the following: diopside, amphibole, feldspar, and mica. Although lapis is usually described as indigo, royal, midnight, or marine blue, lapis lazuli’s signature hue is a slightly greenish blue to violetish blue and very deep in color. The combination of different minerals in the aggregate determines the color. For example, lazurite is responsible for producing royal blue lapis, while the mineral called afghanite creates a pale blue shade. Lapis is mined in several areas. The traditional source of the finest lapis lazuli is in the mountains of Afghanistan. Other major sources are Chile and Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia. The lapis mines that were producing in 700 B.C. are still producing today. They are, in fact, the world’s oldest known commercial gemstone sources. Typically, lapis used in jewelry has been cut into cabochons, beads, inlays, and tablets. But it's use has never been limited to only jewelry. It’s also a popular carving material. Lapis has been fashioned into practical objects, such as, game boards, bowls, dagger handles, hair combs, and amulets.

Pearl Necklace

This 19" strand is composed of natural Tahitian pearls that have been hand-selected for their unique shape and iridescent color. No detail is missed - the hand-made while gold clasp is adorned with a carat of striking, white diamonds. The average size of each pearl is about 17 mm. Due to their naturally dark color, Tahitian pearls have become some of the most sought after, expensive pearls in the world. Unlike black freshwater and akoya pearls, which are irradiated or dyed, Tahitian pearls obtain their look naturally and can be found in an incredible array of iridescent color. Due to their vast color range, matching these pearls into a perfect, finished strand is an enormous task requiring thousands of loose pearls. Pearls are one of the first gems adorned by women and have been used as decorative items as far back as the 5th century BC. Over time, pearls became a status symbol personifying wisdom, power and wealth, and happen to be the only gemstones made by a living organism. When a foreign substance passes through the organism of a mollusk and irritates the mantle, the mollusk begins to coat the irritant with a substance called nacre. Layers of nacre eventually form a pearl ranging in a variety of colors and shapes. Round pearls are the most expensive and uncommon, followed by baroque pearls, which are irregular and uniquely shaped.

Arabic legend says the stone descended to Earth from a foreign galaxy in a flurry of lightning and storm. When wearing this ring on your finger, you can't help but marvel at the unique, kaleidoscopic patterns and if you look close enough, you can even see a glimmer of the legendary faraway galaxies. The pendant features a 12.28 Ct Lightening Ridge Opal accented with 18/20 Karat Yellow Gold and Organic Silver. The beads composing the 20" chain are Natural Malachite and perfectly complement the lush, green tones of the Opal pendant. Malachite is considered to be a protection stone, absorbing negative energy and pollutants from the body and the surrounding environment.
