The History of Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli has adorned gold jewellery, home décor, and fine art for centuries, with its presence found in archaeological excavations across various ancient civilisations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece. Among these, ancient Egypt holds a special reverence for Lapis Lazuli, where it was cherished for its divine connotations and connection to the elite.
The ancient Egyptians revered Lapis Lazuli, crafting exquisite gold jewellery, amulets, and sculptures from this prized gemstone. Its deep blue hue symbolised the heavens and was closely associated with the gods and the royals, powerful kings and queens, and spiritual significance within Egyptian society.
By the end of the Middle Ages, Lapis Lazuli began to be imported into Europe, where it gained popularity among Renaissance artists. The gemstone was highly prized for its vibrant hue and was often ground into powder to produce ultramarine, the most luxurious of all blue pigments.
