A gorgeous lapis lazuli stone is the center of this sterling silver ring. Sitting in a handmade custom bezel setting, the stone has a fabulous rich blue colour and rose cut faceting. The band is strong and beautifully hammered sterling silver. Lapis lazuli is a lovely rustic feeling stone that contains hints of calcite and pyrite that give it it's flashes of gold.
Historical uses of lapis have included grinding it into a fine powder to create the pigment ultramarine used in oil paintings and frescos (a very famous example is Girl with a Pearl Earring) and as a favourite for amuletes and scarab carvings in ancient Egypt.
This lapis lazuli cabochon measures approximately 13mm x 15mm.
