Cannot get enough of my new expressionist Lapis-lazuli necklace.
I the organic feel of these big blue chunks scattered with golden flecks.
Going to make a few more and claim this one as Mine !
I only acquired a few strands of these nuggets, so if, like me, you enjoy wearing something quite unique which you will not see on other people, this necklace is for you.
Lovingly knotted by me, one by one on a grey silk thread.
As I make each necklace and jewel to order, let me know if you prefer your silk to be another colour.
The clasp is solid 18ct yellow gold.
Did you know powdered lapis lazuli was used as an eye shadow by Cleopatra and that it is still used as a pigment to make ultramarine paint ?
