This is a pretty lapis lazuli beaded necklace. All findings are rhodium plated 925 sterling silver, including the lobster claw clasp (the rhodium is added for strength and tarnish protection). The center stone is a large, natural teardrop-shaped lapis stone that exhibits tiny little gold flecks. The lapis beads making up the necklace are cut so that they catch the light and are sparkly. There is 93.10 ctw of lapis in this 20-inch necklace, which is stamped 925 and signed on the clasp.
