The bale opening measures just under about 3/16 of an inch, or approximately 4.7 millimeters, wide.

Combined weight is approximately 6.35 grams, which includes the stone weight, of course.

This necklace is in very good vintage condition, with no kinks or bends. There will be the expected light surface scratches and possibly some tiny dings to the silver from normal wear. No damage to the stone. Hand polished, but it may need further attention, especially to the chain, as both pieces were completely black to start. The spring ring clasp works well and holds securely.
A very lovely, eye-catching but subtly styled, vintage artisan Sterling silver and stunning blue lapis lazuli pendant necklace.
