About the Item

A strand of midnight sky, hand-knotted in gold. This exquisite Italian necklace from the 1960s intersperses deep blue lapis lazuli beads with richly textured 18k yellow gold filigree links—each one a miniature work of sculpture. The weighty 235.2 grams of gold adds a palpable luxury, while the rhythmic contrast of matte stone and gleaming gold creates a hypnotic cadence around the neck. Designed to drape with a quiet grandeur, it is a piece that feels both ancient and utterly modern.
