After several tries I finally figured out how to protect this very beautiful and delicate stone! I advise not wearing it on your dominant hand as it is prone to damage easily, even without incident! Also the stone being inlaid into the gold band helps alot. The 100% lapis ring is unfortunately too delicate and is not recommended after buying and replacing the lapis band twice!

I love this company and have several amazing pieces from them. I was hoping that the lapis stone would have more variation , but it looked 1 dimensional on my hand. If you like simple, comfortable rings give this a try. If you’re looking for something bold , go for another awe ring. Returned.
