Lapis Lazuli Texture

An array of textures, movement and interest. A statement piece! Yellow gold is built up in organic layers to form a driftwood appearance, nestled amongst this are diamonds set in white gold. A stunning lapis lazuli stone sits atop this one of a kind ring designed and made by Marigold Design Studio. This lapis speciman was mined from Afghanistan, where the highest quality lapis is found, characteristic of it's vibrant and deep blue tone.

Lapis Lazuli has been a prized stone for centuries, first believed to be used around 4000BC. The golden sarcophagus of King Tutankhamen was richly inlaid with Lapis, as were other burial ornaments of Egyptian kings and queens. It was used extensively in scarabs, pendants, and other jewelry, and ground into powder for dyes, eye shadow, and medicinal elixirs. The highest quality stone is a deep cobalt blue to purple hue.
