Hand-Knotted Lapis Lazuli Necklace with 14 Karat Gold Clasp

About the Item

This beautiful vintage necklace is composed of a strand of richly saturated natural lapis lazuli beads, each meticulously hand-knotted to ensure durability and fluid drape. The spherical beads, uniform in size and polish, showcase the characteristic deep ultramarine blue hues of fine lapis lazuli, interspersed with delicate flecks of golden pyrite inclusions — a natural hallmark that adds shimmer and depth, enhancing the gem’s celestial beauty. The strand is secured with a bold yet refined circular bolt clasp crafted in 14 karat yellow gold. The gold clasp not only adds a touch of classic sophistication but also ensures the necklace is worn securely. Its elegant, timeless form complements the intense color of the beads, creating a harmonious and luxurious overall appearance. With a length of 47 cm (approximately 18.5 inches), this necklace sits comfortably at the collarbone, making it versatile enough to be worn as a statement piece on its own or layered with other chains or gemstone strands for a more contemporary, layered look.

Lapis Lazuli Necklace With Agate Druzy Clasp
Located in Chesterland, OH
The length of the necklace is 17.5 inches (44.5 cm). The size of the smooth round beads is 21-22 mm. The lapis lazuli beads are indigo, a midnight tone. Lapis lazuli has visible calcite and golden pyrite flecks. It is a natural color, not dyed. The beads are very old. Each bead was cut and polished by hand, and even holes in the beads were drilled by hand. Therefore, each bead is not ideal but perfect at the same time. Since the lapis lazuli in this necklace are very old, then some beads could have small cracks or inclusions that only real lapis lazuli could have. This necklace alternates 3mm tiny vintage seed glass Czech beads. The necklace is fastened with a rare, unique sterling silver clasp with natural druzy agate cabochon. The weight of the necklace is 305 grams. Lapis lazuli is a rock, which means it's an aggregate of several minerals.
