Exotic, Handcrafted Lapis Lazuli, Scroll Charm Necklace - 24K Gold Powder Fused Sterling

Make a notable impression with this one-of-a-kind statment necklace blending rich architecture and artisan luxury.  Reminescent of ancient Asian/Middle Eastern ornaments, the exotic elegance of this fully hancrafted piece pairs the deep celestial blues of genuine Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan with burnished 24K gold over sterling silver.

A hand-twisted and shaped scroll suspension nestles a dramatic, natural-surfaced Lapis trillion cabochon as a central focus, et in prongs.  This focal gem has multple gold flecks that augment the fused gold accents on the metal.  Seven textured sterling charms of varying sized geomettric shapes ovals cascade from the scroll wire with fluid movement and luminous gold and silver flashes.  Each has been hand-set with small lapis ovals. The textured surface of the scroll wire and charms have been fused with 24K yellow gold powder and hand-burnished for rich warmth and elegance.  A simple oval rolo sterling chain drapes the necklace gracefully at the collarbone level for optimal focal gem and charm positioning.  A handmade sterling hook/loop clasp secures the necklace at a 17 inch length.   The stricking silhouette of this necklace pairs well with open necklines, crisp white silk shirts or rich jewel-tone velvets.

if you are a collector of high-end artisan, one-of-a-kind jewelry, a lover of world-inspired or architectural designs or luxury buyer who appreciates labor-intensive goldsmithing techniques, then you should consider adding this statement necklace to your collection.
