Lapis Orbit Pendant

Published:
218 Views

Description

Lapis is a lovely mineral that often has inclusions of pyrite in it, which pairs wonderfully with brass. Lapis is sensitive to strong pressure and high temperatures so care should be taken when wearing it; take it off before doing chores (especially when using harsh detergents) and avoid using any caustic polishing compounds on pieces that contain lapis.

Lapis has been used since ancient times in jewelry and for adornment of churches and palaces. For metaphysical purposes lapis can be used for healing, joy, love, fidelity, psychism, protection, and courage.

30x22mm lapis lazuli cabochon, jeweler's brass, 4mm lapis beads, and 3mm brass beads.

Awesome. Love the touch with the beads around the outside. If you don't mind my asking, how do you keep the stone in the chain? I've never had luck bezeling with chainmaille.
