A lapis lazuli heishi bead necklace, hand-strung in an alternating blue and white pattern across the full length, finished with a flat sterling silver T-bar clasp and a small red cord accent at the closure. Lapis has been prized for centuries for its deep, saturated color and long association with clarity and intuition. The natural variation across each bead gives the necklace a richness that reads differently up close. The graphic stripe carries clearly at any distance. Layers naturally with chain or pendant styles, or wears well on its own. Available with an engraved monogram.
