Once in a very great while, if one is incredibly lucky, one might see a mighty dolphin jumping, skimming the roiling waves. Blink, and he is gone.

In ancient times, sailors traveling the seas far from the sight of land and home, knew that the sight of a dolphin swimming next to their ship was a sign that they were near to land and safety. Since ancient times, dolphins have been seen as a good omen and a symbol of protection.

Rare Lapis Lazuli has been held as precious since ancient times. It is considered to be one of the most mystical of gemstones, gifting order the one who wears and cherishes it with healing powers over the mind and body.

This is a large "Statement" beaded necklace, 34 inches long, the entire piece, including beading, is 4 1/2 ounces (122 grams) in weight.

With large Lapis Lazuli stone focal, large Lapis Lazuli stone barrel beads, small Lapis Lazuli stone heishi beads, small silver-gray Preciosa Czech glass beads, antiqued copper round metal beads, and seafoam colored round faceted stone beads.

Sparkling Swarovski crystal rectangular bead accent at the apex of the triangle.

The small silver dolphin in the centerpiece was acquired as a sterling silver item; it looks, tarnishes, and polishes as does silver. However, I am a lapidary artist, not a metallurgist, so I don't know for sure. It is an extremely lovely representation of a dolphin nonetheless.

This convertible necklace can be worn long, or close up against the neck (as shown in the photos).
