Lapis lazuli bracelet THE FIFTH GATE

Product Information

This heart is set with dazzling synthetic opals that aesthetically mimic the appearance of natural opal but with different chemical and physical properties, creating a small jewel with a simple yet elegant design that will attract attention with its extravagant play of light. It shimmers in the most mysterious ocean hues imaginable. It is escorted by lapis lazuli, a deep blue metamorphic rock and one of the most coveted stones since the beginning of human history. It is a universal symbol of wisdom and truth. Its name is derived from the Latin "lapis" (stone) and the Persian "lazhuward" (blue). It is a beautiful stone that has been revered for millennia and was considered a royal stone in ancient Egypt, as only the highborn were allowed to wear it. In ancient Persia and pre-Columbian America, lapis lazuli was a symbol of the starry night. Ground and processed into powder, it produced the intense ultramarine, favored by the painter Michelangelo. Buddhists recommend lapis lazuli as a stone that brings inner peace and frees one from negative thoughts. It is a protective stone that protects against negative energy.
