Starborn Handcarved Lapis Lazuli Dragon Shield Pendant in Sterling Silver

A bold dragon, expertly carved by hand into richly colored Lapis Lazuli, takes center stage in this elegant shield-shaped pendant. With fine 925 Sterling Silver framing and a length of approx. 1.9 inches, it’s a wearable talisman of power and artistry. Lapis Lazuli is a relatively rare celestial deep blue stone and is considered as a semi-precious stone with its intense blue mixture of minerals. It also often features inclusions of calcite and pyrite. Lapis Lazuli is one of the most sought-after stones in use since man’s history began. Lapis Lazuli, mined for over 6,000 years in Afghanistan, was treasured in Mesopotamia and Egypt, adorning pharaohs’ jewelry and King Tutankhamun’s mask. The dragon is a complex symbol; it represents supernatural power, fearlessness, passion, wisdom, strength, and hidden knowledge. This finely detailed Dragon Carving is masterfully rendered in Radiant Lapis Lazuli. Each Lapis Lazuli is naturally unique and may differ slightly in color. However, the pendant you receive will be similar to the images shown. Elegantly presented in a Starborn branded gift box.
