Royal Blue

 Lapis Lazuli has been renowned as the gemstone of royalty throughout history...no wonder it caught the eye of the Duchess.

Originally discovered in ancient tombs in Asia, Africa and Europe, Lapis Lazuli was a firm favourite with Egyptian Pharaohs, adorning jewellery, pendants and masks of royalty to reflect their wealth and status. It is most famously know to have adorned the death mask of the great Egyptian ruler Tutankhamun.

Translating as 'Blue Stone,' symbolic for its rich deep blue hue with flecks of gold pyrite, the midnight stone was also widely admired for its striking colour. During the Renaissance, the stone was ground down into a fine powder by artists and used to create the pigment ultramarine; fashioned in paintings including Michelangelo’s frescoes in Rome’s Sistine Chapel and Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earring.

A gemstone admired by many throughout history, it is no wonder that Lapis Lazuli is one of our favourites at Astley Clarke - here are a few of our most treasured Lapis pieces from our Stilla collection and how to style them effortlessly into your everyday.
