About the Item

Vintage Lapis Lazuli and 14K Gold Beaded Necklace. Indulge in the deep, celestial blue of this striking vintage necklace, a testament to the bold elegance of the 1980s. This extraordinary piece perfectly captures the timeless allure of Lapis Lazuli, a gemstone historically favored by royalty for its stunning color and profound symbolism. Gemstones: 32 vibrant, hand-selected Lapis Lazuli beads, each measuring approximately 8−8.16mm. Gold Accents: Interspersed with 31 polished 3.90mm beads/rondelles crafted from 14K Yellow Gold. The Lapis Charm: Look closely—many of the deep blue orbs are gently flecked with natural, distinctive gold pyrite, giving the stone its signature "starry night" effect and ensuring that no two beads are exactly alike. Weight Length: A truly substantial piece, weighing 27 grams and measuring 16 inches, perfectly positioned as a classic choker or collar necklace. Lapis Lazuli is a revered semiprecious stone, prized not just for its unparalleled color, but for its rich history. Associated throughout the ages with royalty, wisdom, courage, and intellect, this gem was often believed to ward off evil and foster friendship and truth. Wearing this piece is to carry a legacy of strength and profound meaning. The lapis lazuli beads are meticulously double-knotted on a secure cord, enhancing both the aesthetic drape of the necklace and the safety of the precious stones. The piece is finished with an exquisite 14K gold filigree clasp (measuring 11.2×5.44mm), stamped "14K", offering both a secure closure and a final touch of vintage artistry. This necklace is a remarkably bold and unique statement accessory. Wear it alone to let its majestic blue shine, or perfectly layer it with your favorite gold chains or pendants for a dynamic, contemporary look. Condition: The condition of the necklace is good, some gold rondelles have dents. Beads have just been restrung. Metal tested with XRF for 14k gold *** Since we list antique and vintage items we try to make sure to identify any issues.
