A beautiful vintage lapis lazuli and 14 karat gold pendant necklace. The pendant centers a softly rounded rectangular cabochon of vivid blue lapis lazuli, set simply in a minimalist, polished gold mounting with a gorgeous twisted bail.

Lapis lazuli has been treasured for thousands of years and remains one of the most historically significant gemstones, prized by ancient civilizations for its intense blue color and natural golden pyrite inclusions. Used in jewelry, decorative objects, and works of art for millennia, lapis has long been associated with beauty, wisdom, and status.

The rich blue of this particular stone is beautifully complemented by the golden flecks of pyrite scattered throughout the surface. The pendant has a pleasing presence without feeling oversized, making it an especially versatile everyday necklace.

A lovely example of vintage lapis jewelry featuring one of history's most beloved gemstones. Comes paired with a gold-filled chain which fastens with a spring ring style clasp.
