This Return to Origin multi-style beaded lapis necklace features 81 primary gemstones where every 9 gemstones are grouped and connected by spacer gemstones. Ancient Chinese people believe that the number 9 (九) means eternal, and if a person can survive 9*9 = 81 tribulations, he may be able to return to his original divine nature (九九歸真). In ancient China, the use of lapis lazuli was restricted to the Son of Heaven— the emperor — and the royal court.
The beaded necklace can also be styled as bracelet and glasses chain. Your own favourite pendant can be attached to popcorn chain Pendant connector.
