Known for its deep, saturated blue color and characteristic flecks of gold pyrite, it has been used in jewelry and decorative arts for thousands of years.

Every piece is designed in Albuquerque, New Mexico and crafted with genuine lapis lazuli. American West Jewelry uses only natural gemstones across all designs.

Real lapis lazuli is identified by its deep blue base color and the presence of gold or silver pyrite mineral inclusions. These metallic flecks catch the light and are a reliable marker of an authentic stone.
Color uniformity varies across pieces. Some lapis shows a clean, rich blue across the entire surface. Others display white calcite veining, which is a natural feature of the mineral. No two lapis lazuli stones are identical. Compare with other blue gemstone jewelry in the collection.
Lapis Lazuli and Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is the most common setting for lapis lazuli in Southwestern jewelry. The cool, bright finish of .925 silver creates strong visual contrast against the deep blue of the stone, making the color appear more saturated and defined.
This combination is seen across the collection in rings, earrings, and necklaces. Browse the full range of sterling silver jewelry to see how lapis pairs with other stones and settings.
A Stone With Depth and Character
Lapis lazuli occupies a distinct space in natural jewelry. It reads as a natural stone, not an imitation, and it carries visual weight that synthetic alternatives cannot match. It is also the birthstone of September, making it a meaningful option for gifts tied to that month. Explore anniversary jewelry and birthstone gift ideas for more.
Lapis Lazuli Jewelry FAQs
Is the lapis lazuli in this collection genuine?
Yes. American West Jewelry uses only natural gemstones. All lapis lazuli pieces feature real stone, not dyed imitations.
How can you tell if lapis lazuli is real?
Genuine lapis lazuli has a deep, matte blue surface with visible pyrite flecks and, in many cases, white calcite veining. Imitations are often uniformly colored and lighter in weight.
What is the difference between lapis lazuli and sodalite?
Both are blue stones, but lapis lazuli contains pyrite inclusions that create gold or silver flecks. Sodalite is typically a more uniform blue without those mineral markers.
Is lapis lazuli durable enough for everyday wear?
Lapis lazuli is moderately hard and suitable for regular wear with reasonable care. Keep away from harsh chemicals and store separately to avoid surface scratching.
What product types are available in lapis lazuli?
The collection includes lapis lazuli rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants, and bracelets, all set in sterling silver.
