Lapis is the color of the throat chakra; blue. There are different shades of blue in lapis. I love the denim blue color which is light and airy. These necklaces are darker colored lapis with crystal points on one necklace and amber and glass beads on the other. Crystal is a cleansing stone and amber is for feeling grounded and strong. Lapis aides in speaking one's truth fully with out fear of reprisal.
For some stringing necklaces is easy and runs smoothly. For me it takes a long time and although a good form of therapy I have to really stay focused and pay attention so one half of the necklace will line up with the other giving it a balanced look. There is also a style of necklace giving the entire piece an asymmetrical look. These lapis stones are chipped, many pieces are needed to complete a necklace.
In the Best Little Beading Book Ever by Wendy Simpson Conner she describes the standard necklace lengths as a Chocker 15" in length(depending of individuals neck size), Princess is 18", Matinee-20 to 24", Opera-28 to 30" and the Lariat or Rope-45" or longer.
I designed both necklaces and wear with casual or a dressed up attire.
