Men's Necklace Lapis Lazuli Pendant Handmade in Sterling Silver

Mens Necklace Antique Silver Pendant with Natural Emerald Lapis Lazuli has been used in jewelry for thousands of years by several cultures. Its deep, celestial blue remains the symbol of royalty and honor, gods and power, spirit and vision. It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth. All my life I had a very strong curiosity for global cultures and traditions involving handcraft. Wherever I traveled, I would look for some small pendant, bracelet or small decorative arts to add to my personal collection. So part of my creations draw influence from tribal cultures which are poetically embedded in each design, so the admirer is transported on a journey of reverie. Size and Fit: The pendant's size: 19 mm x 16 mm You can choose to purchase only the pendant or add an oxidized sterling silver chain to it. This is an Anchor chain 2.9 mm wide. My designs express the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. I aim to uncover the beauty of imperfection in each piece by combining textures, oxidizing surfaces, and forging irregular forms. A great part of my Aesthetic is influenced by my Japanese inheritance and the idea of Wabi-sabi: a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. If you're not sure about what chain size to pick, measure a string, place it around your neck with the length you picked and check on the mirror if it hangs at the height you were expecting. Quick Q&A: -Can I shower with it? I advise you not to, even though it won't damage the piece. Sterling silver may change color, get more oxidized or lose oxidation if you get it wet. -Is it solid silver? Yes, the pendant and the chain are made of solid sterling silver, inside and outside.
