The Cracked Lapis Ring is a band in 925 sterling silver set with a deep blue lapis lazuli crossed by natural, web-like fissures that give the stone its cracked surface. The band itself is carved in craggy ridges, so the metal repeats the broken texture of the stone instead of framing it in something smooth. The fissures are in the lapis and are not cut into it, which means the pattern belongs to the stone and cannot be repeated from one ring to the next. Lapis has long been associated with wisdom and plain truth, worn here as a symbol rather than as a religious piece.
