Story & tradition
Lapis lazuli is a rock composed of several minerals rather than a single mineral species. Its blue is primarily associated with lazurite, while pale calcite and metallic pyrite may appear within it.
Its deep, night-sky colour has inspired associations with truth, self-knowledge and considered speech in modern spiritual jewellery.
How to wear
- 01
Wear near the neck when you want the blue stone to become the visual focus of an outfit.
- 02
As a bracelet, pair with neutral woods or silver tones rather than overcrowding its natural pattern.
- 03
Use it as a personal reminder to pause before speaking and communicate deliberately.
Care for your piece
- 01
Use a soft cloth or warm, mildly soapy water and test a small area first.
- 02
Avoid acetone, alcohol, strong solvents and prolonged soaking because some lapis is dyed, waxed or oiled.
- 03
Protect from hard knocks and store separately; lapis is softer than quartz.
