This elegant 18-inch graduated bead necklace features natural lapis lazuli beads set in 14kt yellow gold. The beads graduate in size, creating a beautiful tapering effect that draws the eye to the center of the neckline. Lapis lazuli is prized for its deep blue color and natural flecks of pyrite that add subtle shimmer and character to each bead. The necklace is finished with 14kt yellow gold spacers and a secure clasp for comfortable everyday wear. The graduated design transitions from smaller beads near the clasp to larger beads at the center, creating a classic and sophisticated silhouette suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
