Lapis Lazuli Necklace with Double Vajra – Silver

A striking necklace made of lapis lazuli beads, whose color ranges from rich ultramarine to gray-blue mottled sections to almost anthracite-colored beads, delicately interspersed with golden pyrite inclusions. The beads are individually knotted and feature a double vajra made of silver at the end of the strand, whose four crossed scepter arms are openwork. In the Tibetan tradition, the crossed double vajra (Vishvavajra) is regarded as a symbol of the unshakable foundation and, in mandala depictions, forms the base upon which the deity’s palace rises. A hand-bent silver S-hook fastens the necklace.
