Description
Large sterling silver and Lapis ‘homage’ to a Squash-blossom / Naja necklace.
This was the first necklace I made so it’s special in a raw kind of way and bears the marks and dings of a silver worker finding their feet. The number ‘1’ is stamped on the back to celebrate this.
Lapis Lazuli in its dark denim blue shade with slight copper inclusions works beautifully with silver to make this the perfect piece to wear with your favourite denims. Each disc of lapis reminds me of a mini galaxy with its swirls and stripes of coppery/gold and whitish blues.
Lapis Lazuli– is a beautiful blue stone that is believed to bring self-awareness, enlightenment and can open the mind to all astral possibilities. Lapis lazuli is widely known for its purifying and healing abilities.
The necklace is sized to slip comfortably over the head and is strung on extra strong spun steel. The steel is so fine that the piece hangs naturally as if strung on silk. The small seed beads of the necklace are handmade from recycled glass.
Hours and hours of work went into this piece.
-All the silver within this piece has been hand-aged to give an old-time heirloom look.

All my silver pieces are very limited, should the item you choose be out of stock at the time of ordering please contact me to discuss options. As the stones and beads within this piece are natural and hand cut, please expect slight variation in shade and shape. Traditional jewellery making techniques are used to make all pieces- piercing, shaping, stamping, soldering, stone setting and polishing etc are all done by me and by hand. No mass made cookie cut production here. Each piece will be different to the next and this is what makes every piece unique. I have an ever changing supply of stones and therefore custom orders are possible. Prices vary due to the carat, type and rarity of the stone, also due to the amount and weight of sterling used in each piece.
Please check your string regularly to check for any wear. This stringing steel is very strong, but overtime this could start to wear and your piece will need restringing.
