About lapis lazuli

Medieval monks used ultramarine ground from lapis to paint the most important details of illuminated manuscripts. Lapis is known as the stone of friendship and truth, said to encourage harmony in relationships.

Why it makes a good gift

• September birthstone (and a traditional December birthstone)
• Traditional 9th wedding anniversary gemstone
• A gift for a close friend: the stone of friendship

How to wear it

The long oval suits open necklines and longer chains. Try it over a plain dark top so the blue stands out.

In 2019 researchers found lapis particles in the teeth of a medieval nun, a sign she painted manuscripts with this precious pigment.
