Lapis Bracelet

One of the prized pieces in a lapis lover's jewellery collection is a fabulous bracelet. A gorgeous lapis lazuli bracelet is a versatile piece that can be worn with everything from a white t-shirt to a business suit.

Many women would love a lapis cuff bracelet. Sterling silver cuff bracelets are easy to wear because there are no clasps to fuss with. A lapis cuff bracelet is comfortable and doesn't get lost in the sleeve of a sweater or blouse.

Stunning link designs are widely available in lapis bracelets, too. These gorgeous pieces sometimes feature large stones. Look for bracelets with different cut stones for an interesting piece.

After you choose a style, color is probably what you should consider next when buying a lapis bracelet. Color is probably the biggest value factor when choosing quality lapis lazulis. Choose a bracelet with stones that have deep, saturated color. Gold or silver specks in the stones are very desirable too.

The world’s largest source of lapis is a mine in Afghanistan, and it has nearly been cleaned out. Unfortunately, that means top-grade quality gemstones have become harder to come by.  If you love lapis jewelry, now is a good time to buy a great bracelet while large, quality stones are still available.

Lapis bracelets are often set with other stones, especially in pieces set with inlays. The blue gem inlay is often paired with green turquoise, red coral and white mother of pearl. Lapis lazuli inlaid earrings often depict a floral motif, but you'll also find them with intricate abstract designs, too.

Learn how to care for your lapis bracelet so you can enjoy it for years to come. Because lapis is a soft gemstone, it requires some special care. Never wear your lapis bracelet when exercising, gardening or any other activities that could scratch the stones. Store your bracelet in a jewellery bag or wrapped in plastic to keep it from getting scratched by other pieces in your jewelry collection.
