Lapis lazuli necklaces are decorated with lapis lazuli, a deep blue precious stone. They may be used with gold or silver chains, although silver and white gold are preferred because they better bring out the stone’s color. Some are made of strung lapis lazuli beads, while others have individually set stones or pendants.
Types Of Lapis Lazuli Necklaces
Kinds of Lapis Lazuli Necklaces include the following:
Single strand necklaces
Single strand necklaces consist of one strand or chain around the neck.
They may consist entirely of lapis lazuli beads or a simple chain with a lapis lazuli pendant or accents.
Multi-strand necklaces
Multi-strand necklaces consist of two or more lapis lazuli strands of uniform length.
Most of them are beaded and come in choker or princess lengths.
Tiered necklaces
Tiered lapis lazuli necklaces have several strands of different lengths.
Some consist of thin chains accented with lapis lazuli, while others are beaded throughout.
Choosing Lapis Lazuli Necklaces (Buying Tips)
Color: Choose a lapis lazuli necklace with a shiny deep blue shade. These are the most valuable and will keep their luster and color longer. Solid colors are also valuable, although streaks and marks may also make them attractive.
Mounting: If you are buying a pendant or accented chain, make sure the lapis lazuli beads are firmly mounted. Look for one with a frame or prong mount for a more secure hold. For beaded necklaces, look for double-strand strings to better support the weight of the beads.
