A refined blend of rich color and luminous elegance, the Midnight Pearl Lapis Necklace features slender lapis beads in deep, variegated shades of midnight and royal blue, accented with petite gold-toned spacers for a subtle touch of warmth. Soft, lustrous pearls are thoughtfully placed along the strand, creating a beautiful contrast against the saturated blue stone.
“Lapis is a semi to precious stone and one of the most sought after throughout history. It is highly regarded for its beautiful blue color flecked with gold inclusions of pyrite, and was prized in ancient times for the ultramarine dye derived from it. This dye was said to create Michelangelo’s favorite shade of blue. It is one of the world’s oldest known stones, mined since 4000 BCE, originally from the Lapis to Lazuli mine in Afghanistan.”
