AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This bracelet is made of natural lapis-lazuli beads cut into faceted cubes, in a deep, intense blue speckled with fine gold inclusions of pyrite. The multiple facets catch the light and reveal the richness of this royal blue, while discreet white calcite veins nuance the whole.
Lapis-lazuli, stone of wisdom and inner truth, is traditionally associated with clarity of mind and self-expression. It is believed to strengthen intuition and open the way to more authentic communication, like a night sky inviting contemplation.
Lapis-lazuli, mined for over six thousand years from the Badakhshan mines in Afghanistan, was so precious in Antiquity that it was ground to produce ultramarine pigment, a pigment reserved for royal frescoes and the most sacred illuminations.

1. Secured shipping with a tracking number.
2. Shipped twice a week. For Europe and internationally, delivery time may vary from 8 to 15 days depending on destination and customs checks at borders.
3. All my stones are genuine, with no color treatment, resin, or plastic. They have all been selected with care, but as these are natural and artisanal products, they may sometimes show small imperfections.
4. The elastic mounting of the bracelets is sturdy, suited to the weight and size of the stones.
5. Please note: The stones reflect light differently depending on the lighting, indoor lighting or sunlight.
Photos were taken indoors with appropriate lighting and outdoors in natural light when weather allows. I always strive to faithfully reproduce the natural colors of the stone.
Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.
