This genuine lapis lazuli stone has been set in an l8 karat gold ring. Lapis lazuli bas been highly prized for over 6000 years. Due to its specks of pyrite glittering against the brilliant blue background, it was thought to resemble the night sky speckled with stars. Lapis was believed to be a cure for melancholy, and a talisman against the spirits of darkness. One often thinks of the Egyptians in connection with the stone, since Pharaohs such as Tutankhamen were interred with great quantities. The very fine stone set in this ring brings to life the full beauty of the fabled gem, creating art effect that is mesmerizing. - (FJ.6535)Origin: Afghanistan Collection: Jewelry Style: Gem Stone Rings Medium: Lapis and Gold
