This necklace is one of the favorites as a gift for foreigners or when traveling outside Chile, since it's representative of our country — handmade in copper with semi-precious lapis lazuli stones.

It's a short necklace made with 1cm-diameter lapis lazuli balls and a copper ring 5cm long by 3.7cm wide, which creates a stylizing effect on the neck.

This design belongs to the Alwacobre collection.

It can be worn all year round since it goes with everything.

ALWA's copper pieces are design jewelry that carry a national image and identity, since we're the world's largest producers of this metal and it's our country's main export.

Lapis lazuli, meanwhile, is one of our country's characteristic stones, as it's mined in only a few places in the world along with Afghanistan. This stone is said to enhance dreams and physical abilities, bring peace, calm and serenity, and release stress from the body. It harmonizes the mental, spiritual, emotional and physical levels and provides greater clarity and self-awareness.

We apply a special treatment to the copper to protect it, maintain its appearance and prevent it from staining the skin, though the wearer's skin pH will have an influence.

We recommend the piece not come into contact with water in the shower, pool or sea, or with cosmetics, perfume, chemicals or alcohol.

To care for this piece, we suggest keeping it in the Alwa linen delivery bag. This helps keep the jewelry from contact with air, direct light or moisture, which could deteriorate the piece.
