About lapis lazuli

Lapis forms where limestone is transformed by heat and pressure deep underground. It has been carved, traded and worn for over 6,000 years, and is said to bring calm and clarity to its wearer.

Why it makes a good gift

• September birthstone and Virgo zodiac stone
• Traditional 9th wedding anniversary gemstone
• Pair with the 15mm teardrop pendant for a matching set

How to wear it

A good everyday pair: blue goes with denim, navy and grey, and the teardrop shape works as well at the office as at dinner.

Did you know?

The name comes from Latin lapis (stone) and Persian lazhward (blue), the same root as the word "azure".
