Convertible Lapis Lazuli Bead and Brilliant Cut Diamond Necklace in 18ct Yellow Gold

A statement convertible 77cm lapis lazuli bead necklace. Speckled with pyrite, the captivating intense blue colour of this beautiful gemstone has been perfectly complemented by polished 18ct yellow gold. Effortlessly adaptable to the mood of the wearer, the necklace can be worn to its full 77cm length or split into two shorter 38.5cm examples. Two practical ball clasps enable this, with the larger example flush set with a random pattern of sparkling brilliant cut diamonds. Lapis Lazuli has appeared in jewellery for thousands of years, having originally been discovered in Afghanistan. It became increasingly popular during the Retro period, as its beautiful blue colour worked well with the yellow gold that was so predominantly used.
