18 Karat Yellow Gold
18k (75%) gold is the purest form of gold used for jewelry (pure 100% gold is 24 karats by definition). 18k means that 18 out of the 24 parts that make up the gold are pure gold. The most common hallmark stamps for 18 karat gold are 18K or 750 that indicate 75% gold purity. 18k yellow gold is an alloy made up of 75% pure gold and 25% alloy (12.5% copper, 12.5% silver).
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis lazuli, or lapis for short, means “heaven stone/ sky stone” and is a deep-blue metamorphic rock used as a semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense color. Mines in northeast Afghanistan continue to be a major source of lapis lazuli.
Chalcedony
A subgroup of quartz composed of silica with minute crystals of quartz and morganite that is translucent or milky in appearance. Found worldwide and in a huge range of color, specific varieties of chalcedony gemstones are identified and named according to their color. The term "chalcedony" when it is applied to a specific gem, implies the light blue variety. Chalcedony is said to improve vitality and health, promote generosity, and alleviate sadness or bad dreams.
