Lapis Lazuli Faceted Pear Drop 6x6-11mm

Lapis lazuli faceted pear drops in a 6x6–11mm graduating size come stranded and ready to work with — the deep blue stone with gold pyrite flecks has been prized for centuries, and a faceted cut gives it a modern edge that plain rounds can't match.

Fire polished facets catch the light across the stone's characteristic deep blue ground, throwing small flashes that play off the natural pyrite inclusions running through each bead.

What to make with them

The pear silhouette is a natural for earring drops and pendant focal points — wire-wrap a single bead or link several graduating pieces into a tapered fringe for a necklace centerpiece. The drilled pear shape also works well in bead-woven bezels where the pointed tip can peek out below a seed bead frame.
