handmade sterling-silver-wrapped lapis lazuli pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant is made from a beautiful, highly polished lapis lazuli cabochon wrapped in sterling silver wire.

Lapis is a calming and protective stone, with rich blues that are threaded with whites and grays from calcite and shiny gold from pyrite inclusions. It can help to reveal inner truths and wisdom while bringing deep peace and inner harmony. It encourages self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-knowledge. It clears the throat chakra, helping the user to both speak and live in their truth. It releases negative thought patterns and supports clarity and objectivity. It balances masculine and feminine energies and can help you to develop goals and to find the determination to work to reach them. Lapis can help connect and integrate every level of your being—body, mind, and spirit—to attract abundance.
