Lapis Jewelry : Gemstone Jewelry
Literally translated lapis lazuli
means stone of ‘Azure’, the word we now use to refer to
a shade of blue. The modern English ‘Azure’ is derived from
the French ‘Lazur’, in turn originating from the Arabic
‘Al-lazaward’ and the Persian ‘Lajward’, named
after the city of Lajward in Turkestan where lapis lazuli was mined.
The Lajward lapis lazuli deposits were sourced from the 12th to 14th
Centuries. In this period, the Persians had a particular type of pottery
called ‘Lajvardina’, which were ceramic vases with a dark
blue glaze that was made from a dye derived from lapis lazuli.
