Dreams of Luxor (S$80) NOW AZ'S

The history bug has bitten! This 17" necklace draws its inspiration from Ancient Egypt and features carnelian and lapis lazuli, two stones which were used quite a lot by the Egyptians. In fact, lapis was used in many of their religious ceremonies.

Ancient Egypt aside, from what I've read, "Lapis lazuli was one of the stones in the 'Breastplate of Judgement' of Aaron, described in the Bible (Exodus: xxviii, 15-30)." Interesting.

Other "ingredients" in this necklace include: Swarovski crystals and pearls, wirework scrolls in goldtone tarnish-resistant wire and goldtone tube beads. Clasp and extension chain are 14K gold-filled.
