Like the comfort of a worn pair of denim jeans... the best kind of blues are Southwest Blues. A classic stone has been taken and given a fresh look in this sterling neck wire with shades and shapes of denim lapis interspersed by sterling native pearls and dangling from sterling chains for fun movement. The stones dangle freely and will become a classic staple for your favorite pair of jeans with your white t-shirt or that blue dress you need a great accessory piece for. Sterling neckwire with extender allows you to adjust it from 15 to 19 inches L. Made in New Mexico, USA.
Traditional sterling silver design techniques showcase the lapis gemstone and strengthen the symbolism of friendship.
Many of the pendants feature genuine lapis surrounded by a twist rope design, believed to be a symbol of strength, loyalty, and friendship. Recreating the look of double twisted wire, the twist rope design became popular in the 1920s in Southwestern jewelry.
The sunray symbol, representing constancy, enhances the twist rope design in several pieces and reflects the ancient method of communication used by the original inhabitants of the Southwest.
Bracelets and necklaces showcase lapis stones with native pearls, domed sterling silver beads that have a stamped concha or floral pattern around the top and bottom. These antiqued concha beads are referred to as "pearls" because of their traditional and classic use in Southwestern jewelry.
Beaded pieces also make an appearance in Southwest Blues, in particular a torsade of lapis beads and nuggets.
Care Instructions - Like all fine jewelry, CP SIGNATURE™ jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a ziploc bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never immerse in chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause damage to the gemstones. Never wear jewelry in a chlorinated pool or spa.
• Made in America, the Southwest Blues collection features shades of genuine lapis, the gemstone of friendship and harmony.
• A paler blue variety of lapis lazuli, denim lapis is found in the same places as lazuli: Afghanistan, Argentina, Russia, Chile, and the United States. Denim lapis is the color of denim cloth due to calcite inclusions. It enhances spiritual development and generates mental clarity and emotional healing.
• The deep blue color of lapis lazuli features golden Pyrite inclusions that twinkle like little stars. It was one of the first stones ever to be used and worn for jewelry. Known as the alternative birthstone for September and the traditional birthstone for December, lapis is believed to help overcome depression, insomnia, and vertigo.
Just like well-worn denim jeans can always be counted on to fit, lapis pairs beautifully with any wardrobe piece – from pastels to bright, bold colors, neutrals, and of course denim. Consider lapis a friend for all seasons that never disappoints.
