The wonderful thing about these, is the appreciation that Federico’s lapidarian deserves! (Stone cutter) No, these are not industry purchased cuts of Lapis, but rather one by one, each one of these cuts are cut, starting from the larger rock of Lapis & then cut down in shape & size so they can then lay in a channel inlay setting, while lining the middle of the 1/2 round sterling wire that's made specifically for this type of channel inlaying.

Beautifully beveled in a raised setting, the lapis are precisely cut into ¼ moon shaped cuts & follow the curvature of the hoop. The workmanship is just as important as the design itself & if you’re like me, where you appreciate what the power of the hand does, you will then appreciate the workmanship in these! ! They’re very contemporary in style and have a nice light weight that you may forget you have them on!! (See weights below)

There are 3 sizes of these hoops that Federico makes & this is considered the 'smaller' size which are still a good size & very noticeable hoop!! They are finished in a mirror polish contemporary finishing
