A striking antique 1920's signet ring modeled in 14k yellow gold and set with a vibrant gold-flecked lapis lazuli slab stone. Slab is blank or clean so perfect for intaglio work. This is an estate find and features exceptional deeply carved shoulders that resemble gothic cathedral windows. This ring has solid construction and some weight to it so it's easy for daily wear. Wears as unisex. Would make for a sick men's pinky or women's pointer finger ring.
Lapis lazuli is associated with wisdom, truth, and inner power. It is a stone of spiritual enlightenment, inner vision, and self-awareness - activating the third eye chakra, facilitating deep intuition, psychic abilities, and spiritual growth. For thousands of years, it was seen as prized material that has been used in art including on King Tut's coffin and in the Sistine Chapel.
