I love this chunky lapis and returning to design with it is like visiting an old friend. I placed little lapis discs between the stones and added Ghanaian sunburst and wire-wrapped ball focals. I called it Celeste, which means celestial or heavenly in Latin. I don’t design asymmetrical patterns often, but I was drawn to the balance it created. Materials for this design are very limited, so only ten will be available. Once they are sold, the design will head to the archives.
