The History

Historiansbelieve the link between humans and lapis lazuli stretches back more than 6,500years. The gem was treasured by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia,Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome. They valued it for its vivid, exquisite color,and prized it as much as they prized other blue gems like sapphire andturquoise.

Rubies are considered one of the four precious gemstones in the world along with Diamonds, Emeralds, & Sapphires. Rubies have adorned Royal jewelry for years and has been highly prized for their rarity and gorgeous red hues.

The Piece

This pendant includes a carved Chinese Lapis Lazuli centerpiece with Ruby accents! The Lapis is carved to resemble Kwan Yin figures with detailed features of the women\'s face, hair, and long kimonos. The Lapis itself includes a deep blue color with natural striations of white and gold flakes that blend together to make an exceptional color pattern.

The Ruby stones in this piece are all round cut and feature facets that reflect light off of their surface. The rubies include a light red color with a great color saturation and clarity. The stones are in great condition and give the entire pendant a beautiful contrast!

The pendant includes classic Art Deco Era craftsmanship throughout! The piece is carved to look like floating clouds that the Kwan Yin women are standing on. The clouds include a textured surface and swirl around in a gorgeous pattern.

The pendant is also backed entirely by a thick solid sheet of gold that adds security and a lot of gold weight to the pendant!

The pendant measures in at 2.5\" long by 1.75\" wide and is finished off with a swivel bale that should work perfectly with any necklace you have in mind for it.

The piece also includes a working pin backing that can either be used, or removed easily by your local jeweler.
