Sterling silver placeholder-obelisk with Lapis Lazuli (Dark Blue)

This sterling silver and lapis lazuli obelisk is one of a set of 12, which can also be purchased individually. Each serves as an elegant table placeholder, with a card for the diner's name inserted behind the silver triangle.

Lapis lazuli is instantly recognizable by its deep ultramarine blue, often flecked with golden pyrite and soft white calcite. Treasured since ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, it was once considered more valuable than gold and associated with royalty, wisdom, and the divine. With a Mohs hardness of 5 to 5.5, it is ideal for ornamental use, particularly in inlays, carvings, and fine objects.

From ancient amulets to Renaissance art pigment, lapis lazuli has long been a symbol of prestige and mystery. In both historical and modern interiors, its intense color and celestial sparkle create a dramatic yet refined statement—making it a timeless favorite among artists, designers, and collectors.
