Tibetan Nepalese Vintage Mosaic Lapis Lazuli Necklace

A vintage necklace composed of five hand-carved silver-plated filigree panels decorated with lapis lazuli and connected with six beaded strands.

Lapis lazuli holds significance for Tibetan people, symbolizing spiritual insight, wisdom, and the pursuit of enlightenment. In Tibetan culture, lapis lazuli is often associated with deep blue hues, and it is believed to have metaphysical properties that can enhance inner vision, promote clarity of thought, and foster a connection to higher realms. 

Handcrafted by skilled artisans, this item may feature imperfections. These imperfections are not indicative of damage or faulty craftsmanship but rather contribute to the inherent beauty of being handcrafted rather than mass-produced in a factory setting.
