The history of the jewelry
The pairing of brilliant blue lapis lazuli and gleaming gold was highly prized by both the ancient Sumerians and Egyptians, and shows beautifully on our Sumerian Necklace.
The Sumerians were a civilization that inhabited lower Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, from around 4000 B.C. to 1792 B.C. They were skilled metallurgists and mastered the art of molding gold, silver, copper, and bronze into various objects, including jewelry.
This is evident from the numerous golden and lapis-studded jewelry, boxes, and statues that have been discovered in the royal cemetery at Ur, one of the most important archaeological sites in Mesopotamia. These findings offer a glimpse into the wealth and sophistication of the Sumerian civilization and their love for luxurious adornments.
Materials: frosted lapis, brass beads with gold finish, lobster claw closure
Length: 16"
