| Amulet necklace and bracelet set. My friend has a beautiful strand of Egyptian Lapis Lazuli that her mother-in-law gave her, and wanted it broken up to make something more exciting. In ancient Egypt lapis lazuli was a favorite stone for amulets and ornaments. Egyptian burial sites dating before 3000 B.C. contained thousands of jewelry items, many of lapis. Powdered lapis was used by Egyptian ladies as a cosmetic eye shadow. As inscribed in the 140th chapter of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, lapis lazuli, in the shape of an eye set in gold, was considered an amulet of great power. This Lapis Lazuli necklace is interspersed with aqua Czech tablet beads and aqua cubes as well as Swarovski crystals. Yes, you guessed it, her favourite colour is aqua! |
