About this Lapis Lazuli bracelet
Highly prized in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, lapis lazuli was traditionally carved into sacred scarabs and utilised in royal burial masks to represent the celestial heavens. During the Renaissance, it was ground to create the precious ultramarine pigment used by master painters. In traditional practices, this rich historical association with royalty and the divine translates into a stone of sovereign truth. It is historically believed to stimulate the throat chakra, removing the fear of judgement and fostering clear, uncompromising self-expression.
We frequently craft these vibrant pieces for writers seeking their authentic voice in Black River and mediators navigating complex family dynamics. Strung with precision on reliable stretch elastic at our Pointe aux Sables atelier, the bracelet transitions effortlessly between casual and formal environments. The deep blue beads, flecked with golden citrine, serve as a daily touchstone, reminding the wearer to speak with clarity, confidence, and unwavering honesty.
History
Lapis lazuli has been mined in the Badakhshan province of modern-day Afghanistan for over six thousand years. It was highly prized in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, where it was traditionally carved into sacred scarabs and inlaid into the burial mask of Tutankhamun to represent the night sky. During the Renaissance, it was ground down to create the expensive ultramarine pigment used by master painters. The name combines the Latin 'lapis', meaning stone, and the Persian 'lazhuward', meaning blue.
