Mythical Properties
Turquoise has long been believed to give its wearer material well being bringing good fortune to its wearer. By wearing turquoise you are supposed to be protected from falling into poverty. Turquoise was also worn in the past on turbans, as it was believed to ward off the evil eye.
Lapis Lazuli is supposed to promote harmony in relationships allowing the wearer to express his or her opinion openly. Lapis can be known as the stone of friendship and truth.

Price
Though not as expensive as other stones, many love both Turquoise and Lapis Lazuli and their price can be reflected by their current popularity.
We have lapis lazuli jewellery starting at around £90.
