Wow! This big chunk of lapis is such a deep indigo that it is almost looks purple! It measures 13 x 18 mm and has a nicely tapered, high dome. Set in an 18k gold bezel, atop a comfortable, wide sterling silver band. A statement ring with a classic stone, it is sure to be noticed.

***Lapis lazuli was used for many things by the ancient Egyptians, who believed it held great power. It was thought to provide protection to the wearer as well as to shield him or her from negative influences. It was also ground up and used as eye shadow. The best quality lapis, a deep blue without much white calcite, is found in Afghanistan, with other sources in Russia and Chile.***

Currently a size 7, I'll be happy to size this ring up or down to fit. :O)

Made with love in my sunny, Sonoran Desert studio. xo
