Cabochong - Lapis lazuli-cabochong "fri form" (Indien)

The deep blue with those little gold flecks looks even better in person than in the photos. I set it in a wire pendant and the irregular shape made the whole piece feel one of a kind.

The deep blue with those little gold flecks is even richer in person than in the photos. I wrapped one in copper wire for a pendant and the free-form shape made it surprisingly easy to work with.

The free-form silhouette is what sold me—it’s organic and irregular, so each piece feels like a tiny sculpture rather than a mass-produced shape. The lapis has that natural, unpolished look I wanted for my wire wraps, and it took the stone beautifully without any chipping.
