+About lapis: This ancient gemstone has been prized since antiquity for it's deep blue color. It's a metamorphic semi-precious stone that's been used for cosmetics, intarsia, inlay and paint pigment. It often presents with pyrite inclusions and is mostly used in jewelry, today.
 
+ Details: 
+ All pieces are slowly and carefully handmade, in my studio in Sheridan, Wyoming. Because of this, each piece is unique and may contain the slight imperfections that you would expect with a handcrafted item. Perfectly imperfect!
+ As with all handmade jewelry, please be mindful to take care of it. It should not be worn in the shower, while cleaning, during strenuous activities such as sports, or in the water.
+ Sun, heat, lotions and chemicals can affect stones negatively. Clean silver (not stones) with a gentle polishing cloth, especially for jewelry (Sunshine polishing cloth is recommended and included with your purchase).
