Our Beautiful Handmade Antique 14ct Yellow Gold Lapis Lazuli & Diamond Rope Twist Ring is a show stopping piece that wont last long, come and try on this beauty in store now.
The beautiful, blue stone called Lapis Lazuli has been used in jewellery since ancient times. Lapis was a favuorite of the Ancient Egyptians. It was inlaid into the Tutenkamun death mask, his sarcophagus and other ancient jewels. Lapis is named after the Persian word 'Lazhward' for blue.
Since the earliest of times, it has been associated with royalty, strength and courage, wisdom and intellect, friendship and truth. From antiquity, lapis lazuli has been worn in the belief that it will ward off evil. In ancient Egypt, it was powdered and worn about the eyes to improve eyesight.
It is an intensely blue stone made of a deep blue lazurite, cloudy white calcite, sparkly pyrite and other minerals. This beautiful mixture of textures gives lapis lazuli its characteristic look.
It is found with limestone or as separate boulders. Stones from what is now modern Afghanistan and Pakistan are still considered to be of the best quality. Argentina also produces a premium deep blue variety. It is also found in the USA and Canada and less intense blue examples are found in Chile and in the former USSR.
Antique jewellery refers to pieces that are over 100 years old, each one carrying the charm, craftsmanship, and story of a bygone era.
From the intricate designs of the Victorian period to the romantic flourishes of the Edwardian era, antique jewellery reflects the aesthetics, materials, and social values of its time.
Often handcrafted with exceptional detail and set with natural gemstones, these treasures are not only beautiful adornments but also tangible links to history, love, and legacy.
As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewellery from Avenue J Jewellery will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan.
We encourage you to have your jewellery checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweller every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place.
It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one!
As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewellers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewellery.
