This absolutely beautiful vintage lapis lazuli necklace is a wonderfully striking piece, rich with the deep celestial blues and natural speckled gold flecks that make lapis lazuli so treasured.
The necklace features eight polished lapis lazuli panels, each displaying stunning variations in tone and colour. At the centre sits an elegant sterling silver panel, carefully designed to echo the same geometric shape as the lapis sections, creating a wonderfully balanced and sophisticated focal point.
Separating the panels are small square lapis lazuli cubes interspersed with tiny sterling silver beads, adding texture and movement to the design. The necklace then graduates into rectangular lozenge-shaped lapis beads, finishing with a simple and elegant hook-and-eye clasp.
Beautifully articulated, the necklace lays smoothly against the skin and gently moulds to the shape of the neck when worn, making it both striking and comfortable.

Maker AL - Marked 925. I can’t just make out the symbol to see which country it was made but it’s not in the UK. I would imagine from the 1970’s/1980’s from style.
