This is a necklace of Lapis Lazuli, prized by Egyptian royalty for centuries. The pendant on this beautiful piece is an Ashes Box. You may, of course, put into it whatever you wish. Hand-knotted on silk and accented with Bali silver, the necklace is 24" in length.

The core Lapis Lazuli meaning revolves around truth, wisdom and royalty. Its deep blue colour is universally linked to the heavens, cosmic knowledge, and the divine. For centuries it was regarded as a stone of protection that was believed to connect the wearer to the realm of the gods.

The inclusions within the stone add layers to its symbolism. The golden pyrite represents the light of the sun and divine energy, while the white calcite signifies purity and spiritual light. Together they create a symbol of the cosmos, encouraging self-awareness, inner truth, and the clarity to recognize your own path.

Lapis Lazuli is often called "The stone of truth ". It is believed to stimulate the higher faculties of the mind, bringing objectivity and clarity. Practitioners use it to sharpen intellectual ability, improve memory, and encourage a genuine thirst for knowledge. It is thought to quiet a busy mind, allowing for focused contemplation and the recognition of meaningful truths.

This necklace would be a most valuable addition to any collection.
