We have paired this fantastic Victorian Heart Locket with this lapis and gold bead necklace we had. The locket is large and we recycled 10k gold to make a large bail to accommodate large chains.
This is a lapis and 14k gold bead necklace. The necklace is strung on wire for strength and durability. The beads have all been upcycled from other pieces of jewelry. There are 2 kinds of lapis beads, round and rondelles. The gold beads also match the shape of the lapis alternating with round and rondelle shapes as well.
Lapis Lazuli has been cherished as the "universal symbol of wisdom and truth".
