In the second half of the sixties, more elaborate jewelry was produced, which had a spiritual meaning and was inspired by the hippie movement. These were usually silver jewelry in which turquoise, lapis lazuli, amber, malachite, and many types of quartz were used. Many of these jewelry designs were inspired by Indian jewelry or Asian objects.

Since the earliest of times, lapis lazuli has been associated with strength and courage, royalty and wisdom, intellect and truth. This is a versatile babe, allowing to be utilized as a pinky ring, a midi ring, or even a perfect 1" chain extender.
