Description from the seller
1) Interesting vintage necklace, artisanal Nepali craftsmanship in white metal and Afghan lapis lazuli.
Height 22 cm, width 7 cm (base pendant), weighs 135.7 g; sold in the photographed condition, unique piece.
Locally sourced, no tests on metal or minerals have been conducted.
Very beautiful metal accessories, wrought by repoussé or granulation, that divide and embellish the stones.
A very well-made necklace, complex in its composition, elegant. (please look carefully at the photos!).
The necklace is composed of about 250 pieces... assembled.
Unique piece.
The jewelry is unisex, worn by women as well as... men, particularly as an apotropaic jewel.
2) Elegant vintage Nepali earrings, artisanal craftsmanship in white metal and lapis lazuli.
Length 5.2 cm, weighs 22.8 g; sold in the photographed condition, unique pieces.
Locally sourced, no tests on metal or minerals have been conducted.
In traditional Nepali workmanship, nickel is not normally used – “Nickel Free.”
The earrings are entirely handmade.
Note that Nepali jewelry often has magical, protective, and even medicinal attributes, according to popular beliefs. Depending on the minerals, they can be considered a remedy for rheumatism or the cold, or have aphrodisiac powers and ward off witchcraft and the evil eye, or be a source of fertility, among many other functions.
Lapis lazuli has various magical and spiritual properties, among which we note:
Wisdom and Truth Stone:
It is considered a stone that favors self-awareness, inner truth, and intellectual honesty.
Protection:
Since ancient Egyptian times, it was used as an amulet to protect from dangers and negative energies.
Communication:
Helps express emotions and thoughts clearly, strengthening communication.
Serenity and Spirit:
Brings inner peace, serenity, and supports the path of spiritual realization.
Divine Connection:
Considered in many ancient civilizations as a stone with a strong link to the divine and higher energies.
Healing Properties (Crystal Therapy)
Nervous System and Mental:
It is believed that lapis lazuli helps reduce stress, calm the mind, and relieve headaches and migraines.
Respiratory System:
Positively affects the throat and airways.
Chakra:
Strongly associated with the fifth chakra (Throat - Vishuddha) for communication and the sixth chakra (Third Eye - Ajna) for intuition.
Sleep:
Placed in the bedroom, it can promote deep and restorative sleep.
Very quickly and very well packed with Styrofoam and/or bubble wrap, and shipped with tracking and insurance through the best shipping agencies.
Shipping cost includes tracking, packing materials, and insurance for the artwork.
Due to tariff and customs issues, we do not ship to the USA.
Corsica and other non-Italian European islands are to be arranged.
