About lapis lazuli

For centuries lapis lazuli was ground into ultramarine, the pigment Renaissance painters saved for the robes of the Virgin Mary because it cost more than gold. Geologically it is a rock rather than a single mineral: blue lazurite, white calcite and gold pyrite. It is known as the stone of truth and friendship.

Why it makes a good gift

• September birthstone and Virgo zodiac stone
• Traditional 9th wedding anniversary gemstone
• "Something blue" for a groom, best man or father of the bride

How to wear it

Lapis sits naturally with a navy suit and a white or pale blue double-cuff shirt. Pair with a silver watch or tie clip for weddings, or wear them to the office.
