Jewellery: Deep Ultramarine Lapis Lazuli Hand-Knotted 90cm Opera Strand — 925 Sterling Silver Clasp

A breathtakingly dramatic and highly luxurious masterpiece of fine estate jewellery, this Lapis Lazuli opera strand is an absolute triumph of natural gemstone elegance. 

Measuring a commanding 90cm in total open circumference, the necklace features a perfectly graduated sequence of high-polish mineral spheres showcasing a deeply saturated, royal ultramarine blue colour profile. Every individual gemstone bead is meticulously hand-knotted on premium matching silk cord, providing an incredibly fluid, liquid-like drape that contours beautifully against the collarbone. Secured by a highly collectible, hallmarked 925 sterling silver barrel clasp, this continuous investment rope loops effortlessly to drape as a long single strand or double layers beautifully into a heavy, stacked statement neck collar.

100% Honest Diagnostic Markers: The absolute authenticity of this natural gemstone strand is verified by the magnificent, high-contrast matrix landscape running through the spheres. The blue body is beautifully included with striking metallic flecks and ribbons of golden Pyrite (Fool's Gold), paired with soft, cloudy veins of white Calcite. These internal geological characteristics act as the definitive fingerprint of genuine earth-mined Lapis, standing completely above reproach against flat, dyed glass or modern synthetic duplicates.

Original Intended Use: High-end boutique estate statement jewellery, formal gala adornment, or heirloom accessory.

Alternate Suggested Use: Style this heavy blue strand draped twice over a crisp white linen collared shirt or a minimalist cream silk dress. The intense, deep midnight ultramarine and shimmering golden pyrite flecks pop with blinding

Approximate Dimensions

Circumference: 90cm, Closed Drop Length: 45cm.
Vintage Condition

Excellent Vintage Condition — Pristine Gemstone Preservation.

The individual Lapis Lazuli spheres are gorgeously preserved, showing a bright glass-like lustre completely free of surface flat-spots, impact nicks, or cracks. The internal hand-knotted silk thread remains exceptionally strong, taut, and structurally sound throughout the long rope with no loose joints or visible cord fraying. The original 925 sterling silver barrel clasp slides together securely and locks with a tight, crisp mechanical snap; the vintage silver display surface shows a minor, natural touch of unpolished oxidation shading that honours its half-century estate lineage.
