Lapis lazuli was often used by the ancient Egyptians to carve important amulets, such as scarabs. It was also believed to have medicinal properties. Lapis lazuli was also considered an aphrodisiac to the Romans.
The name lapis lazuli comes from the Persian word for blue, "lazhward". Lapis has been greatly appreciated for thousands of years. It was often used as inlays in jewelry and for carvings. It was used by the ancient Egyptians in many religious ceremonies.
Sterling silver is a white and highly reflective precious metal. Sterling refers to silver that is 92.5 percent pure, which should be stamped on the metal, sometimes accompanied by the initials of the designer or country of origin as a hallmark.
