This Genuine Inlaid Lapis Jewelry White Opal Sterling Silver Hoop Pendant is a real beauty. Lapis is one of the most popular gemstones in the world.

The gorgeous Sterling Silver swirl has been inlaid with hand cut pieces of royal blue genuine Lapis for an extra touch of color. Hand cut pieces of lab Opal have been included for an elegant sparkle.
Lapis lazuli is a beautiful opaque stone ranging in color from a deep blue to denim. Lapis lazuli can be made of several minerals besides lazurite, namely sodalite, hauyne, calcite (white streaks), and pyrite (metallic streaks or flecks). Stones that are deep blue with small patches of pyrite and calcite are considered the most valuable. The ancients believed that divine favor and success came to those wearing Lapis. It was largely reserved for royalty and was highly prized by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, as can be seen by its prominent use with gold in many of the treasures recovered from pharaonic tombs. It is still extremely popular today.
