Necklace made of honey-colored amber and silver-set lapis lazuli

A lively necklace made of small amber beads in a clear, luminous honey-yellow hue—each one slightly different in shape and color, with delicate inclusions that sparkle in the light. The necklace is finished with a deep blue lapis lazuli bead featuring golden pyrite flecks, set top and bottom in chased silver caps with flower-patterned rims, with a red tassel below. Two lapis beads and two small silver rondelles divide the strand.

Amber and lapis lazuli are among the most prized materials in Tibetan jewelry, with lapis having been imported from Afghanistan via the Himalayan trade routes for centuries.
