Vintage Lapis Lazuli Necklace with Cloisonné Bird Pendant — 1950s

Natural lapis lazuli has been prized for thousands of years — for its deep celestial blue, its rarity and the wisdom and protection it has long been associated with. Here, irregular lapis lazuli stones are arranged around an authentic 1950s cloisonné enamel pendant delicately worked with bird and floral motifs. Cloisonné is one of the most demanding enamelling traditions in the world; on a pendant of this age and quality, the detail is extraordinary.
