not lapis lazuli, but chrysocolla
I ordered some lapis lazuli beads online and received these blue and green beads. I had never seen green in lapis lazuli but loved the color combination so I ordered more... and received solid blue beads.
it turned out they had sent me the wrong ones in the original order, but I'm glad they did because I discovered a new favorite stone to work with - chrysocolla.
the beads are smooth and matte, and the coloring reminds me of oceans and land on a globe. they are strung on green waxed linen with two wavy silver discs.
a silver heart and two small charms with turquoise, aquamarine, pearl, and fine silver beads hang from the silver toggle clasp.
13 1/2" in length but can be customized if you prefer it longer.
this short version hugs your neck and is the perfect length to wear as a bracelet when doubled.
