Little Spring ~ Joy (Lapis lazuli)
Top quality blue lapis lazuli is the star of this necklace. Accented with several Sleeping Beauty turquoise beads and sterling silver beads, and featuring a silver heart-stamped pendant from Thailand. Finished with cabled sterling silver chain, wire, clasp & ring. Beads are 3mm.
This necklace is part of my "Little Spring" collection which pays tribute to one of the most beautiful places in the world - Arizona, the location of the famous Sleeping Beauty turquoise mine. The name Arizona is believed to derive from a native place name that sounded like Aleh-zon or Ali-Shonak, which meant “small spring” or “place of the small spring". Big thanks to my creative sister for the collection name!
