Description
Reviews

Taste of the Forbidden. This exquisite Filigree Lapis Bracelet showcases the timeless appeal of lapis and the ancient art of filigree. Adapted from the Ming dynasty jewelry collection housed in Beijing, China, bezel-set lapis cabochons (10x14mm) center handcrafted filigree enamelwork settings. 6.5"l. with tongue-and-groove clasp and safety chain.

Museum Provenance

What do Egyptian eye-shadow, carved Confucian hair ornaments and Vermeer’s favorite ultramarine pigment have in common? Lapis lazuli, a beautiful ornamental stone, treasured for more than 6,000 years. Like the exquisite lapis sculptures in the National Gem Collection of our National Museum of Natural History, these exclusive jewelry collections are all lapidary masterpieces.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Comments about Filigree Lapis Bracelet:

I've worn the bracelet 3 times to work. The chain does not stay hooked and constantly hangs down my arm and catches on everything. The hook used to open the bracelet also catches on everything and pulled threads on my clothes. The 3rd time I wore it, one of the decorations on the filigree fell off. Given what this bracelet cost, it should have been made much better.

Comments about Filigree Lapis Bracelet:

This was a gift that I picked out for myself and had my mother purchase. I normally
would not be getting rather expensive jewelry but had admired this in the Christmas
catalogue and felt more comfortable buying it on sale. I had a question about the
filigree which customer service answered directly. On receiving it, I was more pleased
than I thought I would be. I have small wrists and the bracelet fit perfectly....not too
loose. It is lightweight and comfortable to wear and is stunning on. I love it and am
now considering buying the earrings for myself.
