The turquoise sets the tone: a blue-to-green stone, usually opaque, often carrying a darker matrix web across the surface. Set against that, the lapis lazuli is a deep blue stone, usually with flecks of gold-tone pyrite and white calcite through it. The form is a matched pair, balanced for weight, and it belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes.
Each component is listed with the way it behaves, so nothing about the ageing comes as a surprise. The turquoise is an opaque blue-green stone, with a darker matrix webbing that shifts piece to piece. Worn regularly, being soft and slightly porous, it prefers to be kept clear of hard contact. Lapis Lazuli is a different case in wear: it is a softer stone than quartz and will dull where it is rubbed repeatedly. The agate appears as a banded, gently translucent stone whose layers catch light at the polished surface. Against the skin, it is a hard, durable stone for everyday wear, though a sharp edge can chip against a hard surface. Inside the piece, the red agate is an agate in warm red and orange tones, with banding that varies bead to bead. Handled often, it is hard and durable, so it suits a bracelet worn every day.
We ask for a measurement rather than offering a generic size, and confirm the finished fit in writing. Anything not visible in the photographs is answered against the actual piece before you decide. The design language points at balance; it makes no claim about what the piece does. Slight differences in shade, inclusion and grain between pieces are inherent to the materials. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Keep it away from perfume, sunscreen, soap and household cleaners, none of which the stone tolerates well. Keep it away from water, soap, perfume and household cleaners. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately so the polish is not scratched by other jewellery. Wipe it dry and store it separately to protect the polish. Storing it apart from other pieces keeps the surface in the condition it arrived in.
