Lapis lazuli is one of the oldest opaque gemstones in history--more than 6,500 years. This stone's two-part name comes from two different cultures: lapis is a Latin word meaning "stone," while lazuli comes from the Persian word lazhuward, meaning "blue." Add a small lobster claw clasp with a jump ring or split ring to take advantage of the trend for interchangeable, immediately personalized jewelry. Sizes, shapes and colors may vary with handcrafted items.
