Macrame Necklace with Lapis Lazuli

Description

Lapis Lazuli with Macrame Necklaces

Artechaski created these beautiful, handmade lapis lazuli with macrame necklaces. Each necklace features a one-of-a-kind design that showcases a lapis lazuli stone set in macrame.

To begin with, Artechaski’s skilled craftsman meticulously weave multiple colors of high quality macrame that fully encompasses the edges and back of the gemstone.  Also, as part of the customizations of each unique design, the macrame expands in a customized decorative pattern.  Also, each one-of-a-kind creation includes various additional custom features – such as embedded beads and floral patterns.  Finally, the macrame cord provides a sliding closure for universal fit.

Next is a precision cut and finely polished lapis lazuli gemstone.  Jewelry made from these semi-precious stones dates back to as early as the seventh millennium BC.  Of note, lapis lazuli – sometimes just referred to as lapis – has an intense, deep blue color.  Lazurite – the most significant component of lapis lazuli – is a principal source of that deep blue color.

Finally, lapis lazuli mining locations include:

• Afghanistan – where mine deposits have been worked for over 6,000 years
• South ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/amethystAmerica – particularly in sections of Chile and Argentina around the Andes
• Also found in Russia, Pakistan, Canada, Italy, India, and the US
