Yellow Gold Bracelet With Lapis Lazuli
Handcrafted bracelet in low-karat gold with a coppery hue, featuring seven lapis lazuli cabochons.
Lapis lazuli is a stone with a characteristic ultramarine blue color, often veined with gold, which has made it highly sought-after and precious not only in jewelry but also in art.
Powdered lapis lazuli was used to produce ultramarine blue, the most precious color, which was used in medieval and Renaissance painting, especially for the Madonna’s cloak.
It was so precious that contracts between the patron and the painter often specified the exact quantity to be used.
Even the name “lapis lazuli” has a linguistic quirk, as it derives from “lapis,” the Latin word for “stone,” and “azùl,” the Arabic word for “blue.”
The bracelet weighs 68.7 grams, and the goldsmith’s mark is illegible.
