Gorgeous large, chunky natural dark blue Lapis Lazuli beads with an assymetric Lapis gold-flecked focal. Strung on strong 14K Gold Filled wire with matching findings of a large lobster claw clasp which is hallmarked. The large round Lapis beads measure 12 mm and the focal measures 40mm x 15mm. It is substantial, weighing 8 ounces. I love the lighter color of the focal with the tremendous gold striations which work so well with the gold-filled wire and clasp. This amazing semi-precious gemstone has been prized since Neolithic times. It was used for Tutankamen's death mask. The gold flecks are actually pyrite and prized. This beautiful necklace measures 17" and will be a perfect accent to your wardrobe during any season.
