SunRa Charm - Lapis Lazuli and Turquoise - Vermeil

The scarab, along with the concepts of existence, development, and growth, was revered as a symbol representing the cycle of life, creation, death, and rebirth, and was seen as a form of protection. Hundreds of thousands of scarab amulets were crafted in Egypt over many centuries, and many thousands have survived. They were typically carved from precious or semi-precious stones, metal, or glass, or molded from Egyptian faience, a primitive version of porcelain.

Lapis Lazuli is a semi precious stone formed during the metamorphosis of chalk into marble that has been prized since antiquity for its intense blue color. It has been mined since the 7th Millennium BC in the area of Afghanistan and used in many parts of the ancient world to create amulets (like the funeral mask of King Tutankhamun). At the end of the Middle Ages, it began to be exported to Europe, where it was ground into powder and made into ultramarine, the finest and most expensive of all blue pigments.

Turquoise, known for its striking blue to green hues, has been treasured for millennia. Ancient Egyptians, Persians, and Native Americans all valued it for its beauty and symbolic protective qualities. Often considered a sacred stone, turquoise was believed to bring good fortune and healing. Its vibrant color and cultural significance have made it a prized material for jewelry and artifacts throughout history.

Vermeil is a technique invented in 1805 where gold is applied to sterling silver.
The gold coat applied on vermeil pieces must be above 2.5 microns, creating a finish that is five times thicker than average gold plating, and far more durable.
The gold used in our Vermeil pieces is 18 karats of purity and completely nickel free.
