AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This necklace is hand-strung by skilled Nepalese artisans. Its feature beads are hand-cut from natural lapis lazuli into smooth flat four-leaf clover discs. Each stone preserves the unprocessed natural texture of raw lapis: a deep royal blue matrix threaded with pale white calcite veining and tiny glittering golden pyrite specks. Every clover bears unique natural marbling, showcasing genuine unpolished raw stone character.

Glossy black glass seed beads and translucent champagne gold spacer beads are threaded between each lapis clover. The light-and-dark colour contrast tones down the bold royal blue, lending soft, multi-dimensional visual depth. The piece is finished with a thick twisted undyed natural cotton extension cord with distinct rustic texture.
