AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This bracelet is made with natural lapis lazuli beads, cut into faceted cubes in an intense, deep blue, flecked with fine golden pyrite inclusions. The many facets catch the light and reveal the full richness of this royal blue, while a few subtle white calcite veins add nuance to the overall appearance.
A stone of wisdom and inner truth, lapis lazuli has traditionally been associated with clarity of mind and self-expression. It is believed to strengthen intuition and pave the way for more authentic communication, like a night sky that invites contemplation.
Mined for over six thousand years in the Badakhshan region of Afghanistan, lapis lazuli was so precious in antiquity that it was ground to produce ultramarine, a pigment reserved for royal frescoes and the most sacred illuminated manuscripts

1. Secure shipping with postal tracking number.
2. Shipped twice a week. For Europe and international destinations, delivery may take 8 to 15 days, depending on the destination and the time required for customs inspections at the borders.
3. All my stones are genuine, with no color or resin treatment and no plastic. They have all been carefully selected, but as they are natural, handcrafted products, they may sometimes have minor imperfections.
4. The elastic stringing of the bracelets is sturdy and suited to the weight and size of the stones.
5. Please bear the following in mind:
The stones’ appearance changes depending on the light, whether indoors or in sunlight.
The photos were taken indoors with suitable lighting and outdoors in natural light when the weather permits. I always try to reproduce the stones’ natural colors as faithfully as possible.
Thank you for your interest, and happy bidding.
