Our jewelery manafacturing is contracted out to one factory in asia where i supply  both the silver and stones to be set.This gives me control of  the quality of both the silver and stones.

Lapis lazuli has been mined in the Badakhshan  province of  Afghanistan for 6,500 years.The finest color is intense blue, lightly dusted with small flecks of golden pyrite. There should be no white calcite veins and the pyrite inclusions should be small. Stones that contain much calcite at all or too much pyrite are not as valuable. Patches of pyrite are an important help in identifying the stone as genuine and do not detract from its value.
