Description from the seller
I am offering at auction a necklace made with natural Afghan lapis lazuli beads and a 925 silver clasp with gold plating.
The entire necklace has been professionally hand-knotted with knots between each bead. The thread is a silk-cotton blend.
In Christianity, lapis lazuli, with its intense blue color, is associated with Heaven and the divine. It has been used in religious iconography to represent purity, truth, and wisdom. Additionally, it is attributed protective properties and is linked to the figure of the Virgin Mary and the power of God.
Lapis lazuli, due to its deep blue color, has been associated with the sky and the celestial, which ties it to divinity and the presence of God in Christian tradition.
In primitive Christian iconography, lapis lazuli was considered the stone of the Virgin Mary, associated with purity and divine motherhood.
