Handcrafted in India by skilled Rajasthani silversmiths, this statement cuff features a magnificent oval lapis lazuli cabochon, showcasing an intense royal blue accented by delicate golden flecks of pyrite and natural variations. Set against beautifully hammered silver, the stone's captivating depth creates a dramatic contrast that feels both regal and effortlessly sophisticated. Every detail reflects the beauty of traditional artistry, making each cuff a truly individual treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur founder, Jean Marie, personally discovered this exceptional piece during one of her sourcing journeys through India, where she has spent years cultivating relationships with talented artisans and trusted gemstone dealers. She was immediately drawn to the lapis lazuli's extraordinary color and organic beauty, as well as the intricate hand-hammered silverwork surrounding it. Rajasthan has a rich heritage of silversmithing, where generations of artisans have perfected traditional techniques of shaping, hammering, and polishing silver entirely by hand. These time-honored methods give each creation its distinctive texture and character, celebrating the human touch behind every piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLapis lazuli has been treasured for over 6,000 years, revered by ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and royalty for its celestial blue color and powerful symbolism. Once considered more precious than gold in certain ancient cultures, lapis was associated with wisdom, truth, protection, and spiritual enlightenment. Ancient Egyptians adorned themselves with lapis jewelry, while Renaissance artists transformed the stone into ultramarine pigment for their most treasured paintings. Its brilliant blue, reminiscent of the night sky, continues to symbolize inner wisdom, confidence, and self-expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBold yet remarkably versatile, this cuff transforms even the simplest outfit into something extraordinary. Wear it with a flowing silk, or one of our signature kaftans for an effortlessly collected look. More than jewelry, it is a wearable work of art, a celebration of Jean Marie's passion for exceptional gemstones, the enduring legacy of Rajasthani craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of pieces meant to be cherished for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade in India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLapis stone 1.5\" x 1\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth 2.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGap 1.5\" Inner Circumference 6\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight 70gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PAX PHILOMENA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67827734675775,"sku":"SILVERLAPISCUFF","price":1464.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2529\/6354\/files\/HammeredSilverCuffwithLapisCabochon.png?v=1792694800","url":"https:\/\/paxphilomena.com\/en-au\/products\/silver-and-lapis-cuff","provider":"PAX PHILOMENA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
