Tumbled until every edge has softened, no two stones the same shape, each one knotted into place by hand. look closely and you’ll find the white veins and tiny gold flecks that make lapis what it is.

Lapis is said to work on the third eye and the throat, the places of intuition and honest speech. It's believed to bring clarity and focus, calm and a quiet kind of confidence. Whether you believe that or not, it’s very hard to feel flat wearing this colour.

Wear it long, or wrap it around your wrist three or four times for a bracelet stack. it goes beautifully with gold, so pile it up with whatever you already love and wear.

Lapis is soft and porous, so keep it away from water, perfume and sunscreen. wipe with a soft dry cloth and store it apart from harder pieces that might scratch it.
