AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We offer for sale an elegant and majestic lapis lazuli necklace of extraordinary quality, adorned with a significant closure of German or Austrian artisanal workmanship in 14 kt yellow gold.
Lapis lazuli stands out for a deep, intense midnight blue shade, extremely rare to find on the market for color uniformity and saturation. All beads feature a perfectly spherical and regular cut, with a precise diameter of 10 mm, which gives great harmony and visual presence to the strand.
The closure is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship: a richly worked and hand-engraved structure, characterized by generous proportions and a robust build. With dimensions of 38 mm x 30 mm, the closure alone has an estimated weight exceeding 21 grams (including mounted cabochons), with 14 kt gold content calculated at least 15 grams net. The component bears no visible hallmark, but has been carefully tested with reagents and tested positive for 14 kt gold (585/1000). To guarantee maximum safety and security during wear, the clasp is provided with a second safety hook.
