What is Lasurite?

Lasurite, also known as lapis lazuli, is a deep blue semi-precious stone that has been prized for centuries for its intense color and mystical properties. It is often used in jewelry making to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any piece.

Materials Needed

To create a Lasurite wire wrapping pendant, you will need the following materials:

  • Lasurite cabochon
  • Wire (silver, gold, or copper)
  • Wire cutters
  • Round-nose pliers
  • Chain or cord for the necklace

Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps to create your own Lasurite wire wrapping pendant:

  1. Start by selecting a Lasurite cabochon that speaks to you. Make sure it is the right size for the pendant you want to create.
  2. Cut a piece of wire to the desired length, leaving extra for wrapping and creating the bail (the loop for the chain).
  3. Use the round-nose pliers to create a small loop at the top of the wire. This will be the bail for the pendant.
  4. Place the Lasurite cabochon on the wire and start wrapping the wire around the stone, securing it in place.
  5. Continue wrapping the wire around the stone, creating a decorative pattern or design as you go.
  6. Once you are satisfied with the wrapping, trim any excess wire and secure the end to prevent it from coming loose.
  7. Attach a chain or cord to the bail, and your Lasurite wire wrapping pendant is ready to wear!
