What are lapis lazuli bracelets?
Lapis lazuli bracelets are crafted from one of the world’s oldest and most revered gemstones. Lapis lazuli is a deep blue metamorphic rock that has been mined for more than 6,000 years, particularly in Afghanistan, which remains one of the richest sources. Its unique color and golden pyrite flecks have made it a symbol of power, wisdom, and truth across cultures and civilizations.
Historical and cultural significance of lapis lazuli
Since ancient times, lapis lazuli has been associated with royalty, spirituality, and enlightenment. The Egyptians used it in amulets, scarabs, and even as eye shadow for Cleopatra. In Mesopotamia and Greece, it was believed to connect the wearer to divine wisdom. During the Renaissance, ground lapis was used to create ultramarine, the most prized and expensive pigment for artists like Michelangelo. Today, lapis lazuli continues to be cherished for its beauty and metaphysical significance.
Unique appearance: deep blue with golden flecks
The unmistakable beauty of lapis lazuli lies in its rich royal blue color contrasted with sparkling golden inclusions of pyrite. Its striking appearance makes every bracelet unique, exuding elegance and boldness while carrying ancient symbolism of truth and higher knowledge.
