Lapis lazuli is not just a gemstone—it is a fragment of history. First unearthed in the sacred mines of Afghanistan over 7,000 years ago, it found its way into the death mask of Tutankhamun, the frescoes of Babylon, and the pigments of da Vinci himself.

Its hue? A spellbinding ultramarine, sometimes veined with golden pyrite—like stars scattered across the firmament. No two stones are ever alike. Each bears its own constellation.

The Jewel of Truth and Inner Power

In ancient belief, lapis lazuli was the stone of truth, clarity, and divine connection. In modern haute joaillerie, it becomes a canvas for the soul.

• Color: Deep ultramarine, with gold-flecked pyrite
• Hardness: 5.5–6 on the Mohs scale
• Provenance: Afghanistan, Chile, Russia
• Symbolism: Wisdom, intuition, nobility of spirit

Our lapis lazuli is carefully hand-selected for its depth, saturation, and celestial shimmer—qualities that speak to connoisseurs of beauty and meaning.

Every lapis-lazuli jewel crafted by Gabriela Guanais Paris is a tribute to timeless elegance. Whether nestled in a bold cuff, framed in 18k yellow gold, or used as a dial for a bespoke timepiece, this stone invites contemplation.

The lapis speaks softly, but with presence. It does not sparkle like a diamond—it resonates, with depth, with stillness, with soul.

Lapis is a stone of softness and sensitivity. We recommend keeping it away from heat, chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners. A soft cloth and gentle care will preserve its brilliance for generations.
