lapis Gemstone stretch bracelet
Lapis Lazuli is one of the oldest semi precious gemstones; dating back 6,500 years of it being mined. The ancient Egyptians, Sumerians and Babylonians used a lot of Lapis Lazuli.
It is created in the earth via contact metamorphosis. Lapis occurs in a deep blue with calcite and pyrite inclusions. Nicknamed the Stone of Kings or the Stone of Wisdom.
Legend says this stone is symbolic for helping to speak clearly and conscisely.
The photo of the bracket next to the ruler is the truest capture of the blue. It’s hard to photograph some of the stones and get a good color result.

Abalone necklace – rectangle
Abalone is harvested and eaten in many cultures. The swirling color of abalone comes from the inner shell of a sea snail. This snail makes a nacre adding aragonite platelets to it in layers making it harder and more colorful than other types of Mother of Pearl. The colors come from how the microscopic layers are laid down which diffract light into deep hues of purples, green, blues and pink.
New Zealand Abalone is exceptionally colorful. The better quality commands higher prices than a duller paler Abalone.
This Abalone necklace is strung on jewelry cable with a stainless steel lobster claw clasp. I have added faceted amethyst gemstones with flashy crystals.
This necklace is 19 1/2″ length.
