It has always been a fortuitous symbol to wear and has roots in many ancient cultures.

The weight of the necklace is 126.5 grams. Lapis lazuli is a rock, which means it's an aggregate of several minerals.

Since the earliest of times, lapis lazuli has been associated with royalty, strength and courage, wisdom and intellect, friendship and truth. In natural stone jewelry...
