This exceptional Necklace showcases 2 strands of graduated Lapis Lazuli Nuggets. The Lapis is a striking cobalt blue with traces of gray matrix, and varies in dimension from 6-by-8mm to 12-by-24mm. The cut is chunky and the stones vary in height and shape, giving the Necklace great visual appeal. They are spaced along dark brown Olive Shell Heishi, creating attractive dimensional space and allowing the stones to be viewed from all angles. The Lapis is complemented by 6 Black Clay Bird Amulets (11-by-15mm), and eighteen (18) 6mm Bermuda Blue Iolite and Smoky Quartz Rounds. These elements add color depth, translucency and character to the design. The gemstones are highlighted by six (6) 9mm Sterling Silver Fluted Bicones, contributing elegance and shine.
The Necklace is ornamented with a matching 2-Loop Lapis Lazuli Jacla, which drapes from a Sterling Silver Ring and an 8-by-15mm Sterling Silver Coiled Rondelle Bead. The Jacla shares similar design elements with the Necklace, including Bird Amulets, Iolite & Smoky Quartz Rounds, and four 7mm Sterling Silver Fluted Bicones. At the top of the Necklace the 3 strands of Lapis transition to a strand of graduated Sterling Silver Rounds, streamlining the silhouette and ensuring a comfortable fit. The Necklace is finished with an Ornate Sterling Silver Toggle Clasp and adorned with a Southwest Designs Sterling Charm. The piece weighs 228 grams (about 8 ounces) and is 24-3/4 inches long plus the 5-1/2 inch Jacla (when wearing, a vertical length of about 15 inches).
