Lapis Lazuli Collection
Lapis Lazuli and Graphite Sterling Silver Jewelry collections were inspired by nature. Streaks of lapis lazuli and graphite standing out from the rocky walls of rugged mountains slopes. And these rocky veined textures are what is reflected as a background for the profound blue or serene gray tones of the stones chosen for this collection.
Known as the sapphire of the ancients, Lapis lazuli has been valued since ancient times for its intense color. At the end of the middle ages, it was exported to Europe where it was ground and turned into ultramarine, one of finest and most expensive blue pigments. The most famous artists during the Renaissance and Baroque periods used it in their paintings, reserving it for the most important figure in the piece, usually the Virgin Mary.
Graphite, is actually literally a diamond in the rough! The name derived from the Greek word "graphein" (to write) is known as the writing stone...Pieces to write your own destiny!
