A large teardrop lapis lazuli cabochon forms the center of this pendant, framed by fifteen smaller round lapis stones. Its deep royal blue surface is scattered with fine golden flecks beneath a smooth, polished dome. Raised bezels, a twisted-rope border and small metal bead accents create a scalloped outline, with a warm, mottled patina across the setting. A broad bail decorated with stamped petal shapes, curves and chevrons continues the detailed metalwork above the stones. The saturated blue and layered construction give the pendant a substantial, dramatic presence. Pendant only; the beaded necklace pictured is not included.
