TIBETAN DREAMS - Tibetan Pendant Lapis Lazuli Turquoise Pearls Handmade Necklace

About:

The TIBETAN DREAMS necklace is so very well named! This one of a kind necklace is created with a gorgeous antique Tibetan pendant, white stick pearls, lapis lazuli nuggets and sterling silver. The Tibetan pendant is absolutely stunning. The main stone is a luscious dark blue lapis lazuli teardrop. The lapis is capped with beautiful, hand wrought sterling silver repousse work that continues all the way around the pendant. A turquoise stone is set in the middle of the front side of the pendant. The pendant is truly a brilliant piece of work. To highlight the pendant, glowing white stick pearls were used. The luster on these pearls is absolutely amazing - they glow! - and mimic the sheen of the sterling silver on the pendant. To further enhance the blue of the lapis used in the pendant, lovely lapis lazuli faceted nuggets were placed between each pearl. The nuggets provide wonderful texture when compared with the smoothness of the pearls. Sterling silver 2mm beads separate the pearls and the lapis. To finish the TIBETAN DREAMS necklace beautifully, a sterling silver s-clasp was used.

Blue is an important color for Buddhist Tibetans. Traditionally the dark blue of lapis lazuli is used to symbolize that which is pure or rare; it is said to have a curative or strengthening effect on those who wear it. The lighter blue of turquoise is a symbol of the blue of the sky; infinity in the sky speaks of the limitless heights of spiritual ascension.
