This NWT lapis lazuli and wooden bead bracelet is perfect for on the go diffusing of essential oils (the wooden beads absorb the fragrance). Lapis Lazuli was among the most highly prized tribute paid to Egypt, obtained from the oldest mines in the world, worked from around 4000 B.C., and is still in use today. Referenced in the Old Testament as sapphire (unknown in that part of the ancient world), Lapis Lazuli is most likely the fifth stone in the original breastplate of the High Priest, as well as those of later times. The golden sarcophagus of King Tut was richly inlaid with Lapis, as were other burial ornaments of Egyptian kings and queens. It was used extensively in scarabs, pendants, and other jewelry, and ground into powder for dyes, eye shadow, and medicinal elixirs. Lapis Lazuli symbolizes royalty, loyalty, honor, power, wisdom, and truth. Artisan crafted in a home studio in Oklahoma with love. Approximately 7-7.5 inches and adjustable as itβs beaded on elastic.
