On 1stDibs, you can find the most appropriate lapis lazuli lapis pendant for your needs in our varied inventory. Every item for sale was constructed with extraordinary care, often using gold, 18k gold and yellow gold. In our selection of items, you can find a vintage example as well as a contemporary version. Making the right choice when shopping for a lapis lazuli lapis pendant may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 18th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. There have been many well-made iterations of the classic lapis lazuli lapis pendant over the years, but those made by Van Cleef & Arpels, Clarissa Bronfman and Cartier are often thought to be among the most beautiful. While most can agree that any lapis lazuli lapis pendant from our collection can easily elevate most outfits, but the choice of a lapis lazuli version from the 947 available is guaranteed to add a special touch to your ensemble. A round cut version of this piece has appeal, but there are also mixed cut and cabochon versions for sale. There aren’t many items for men if you’re seeking a lapis lazuli lapis pendant, as most of the options available are for women and unisex.

How Much is a Lapis Lazuli Lapis Pendant?

Prices for a lapis lazuli lapis pendant can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, these accessories begin at $90 and can go as high as $740,000, while this accessory, on average, fetches $2,954.

Finding the Right necklaces for You

We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners.

Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers. 

In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs. 

For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone. 

Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage necklaces designed by David Webb — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt

On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more. 

Questions About Lapis Lazuli Lapis Pendant
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The spiritual meaning of lapis lazuli is that it is the stone of truth and friendship. Sumerians believed that the spirit of their gods lived within the stone. Lapis lazuli has been associated with strength and courage and is considered to bring deep peace and harmony to the one who wears it. Lapis lazuli's powerful blue tone opens up minds and provides enlightenment. It is used to encourage self-awareness, self-confidence, self-knowledge, peace and harmony, compassion, morality, and is believed to brighten the wearer’s mood throughout the day.
