The Ancient Legacy of Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli is one of the most historically significant gemstones, treasured by ancient civilizations for its intense blue color and symbolic value. From the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs to the palaces of Mesopotamian royalty, Lapis Lazuli has long been associated with power, wisdom, and truth. Cleopatra herself was known to use Lapis Lazuli in her makeup, valuing it for both its beauty and its connection to the divine.

We have a whole collection of birthstones at Under the Rose that you can find here. You can find each piece of our birthstone jewellery including September. A great example example of this is our Gold Birthstone Family Name Necklace, where you can select three different birthstones of family members or loved ones, as well as an engraving where you can add names or significant words.

The Unique Character of Lapis Lazuli

Unlike other gemstones, Lapis Lazuli is a rock composed of several minerals, with lazurite being the primary component responsible for its deep blue hue. Often flecked with golden pyrite, this stone resembles a starry night sky, adding to its mystical appeal. This celestial quality makes Lapis Lazuli not only beautiful but also deeply symbolic—evoking a sense of inner peace, spiritual growth, and enlightenment.

A great summer addition to an outfit is the Gold September Lapis Lazuli Birthstone Anklet, its the perfect birthday gift for friends, sisters, and loved ones celebrating their birthday in September. Handcrafted and beautifully presented, it features an 18ct gold plated ankle chain embellished with five vibrant blue Lapis Lazuli gemstones that symbolise friendship.

Caring for Your Lapis Lazuli Jewellery

To preserve the beauty of your Lapis Lazuli jewellery, it’s important to handle it with care. Unlike harder stones like sapphire or diamond, Lapis Lazuli is more delicate and can be scratched or damaged if not treated gently. Clean it with a soft cloth and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged sunlight to keep its vibrant color intact.

Where does Lapis Lazuli come from?

Afghanistan is the world’s leading source of lapis lazuli. Some parts of the country have been actively mined for thousands of years.
