This pretty little Lapis Lazuli with its white spots make me think of floating white clouds against a deep blue summer sky. It is set on a sterling silver back with fine silver bezel around it; the blue and silver create a wonderful contrast. The comfortable band is gently hammered; the edges are rounded and smooth. Lapis Lazuli is one of December's traditional birthstones.
Please note: the Lapis Lazuli is just a bit darker than the photos appear.
