“Lapis lazuli”, one of the oldest gemstones in the world

Lapis lazuli is known as one of the oldest gemstones in the world. It is made up of the Latin word “lapis”, meaning stone, and the Arabic word “lazuli”, meaning blue. Lapis lazuli has been revered as a ‘holy stone’ in many parts of the world since B.C. It was also used as a ‘lucky charm’ when going into battle. It is said to enhance intuition and creativity, and to bring out dormant talents, making it an ideal stone for those who need planning skills and creative work. It is also a great stone for people who want to be creative and for those who want to plan. It is the birthstone for the months of September and December

Karen Silver Beads

Karen silver beads are handcrafted by a small group of mountain tribes in Myanmar and northern Thailand. The purity of Karen silver is approximately 95-99.9%, compared to 92% for most silver jewellery. In addition to the high purity of the silver, it has a muddy luster and elegance, as well as a handmade warmth that is simple but has a strong presence.

The Karen beads used in this product are very small and difficult to produce by skilled artisans, and are more expensive than the Karen beads normally distributed.
