Description
Sourced in Italy, this vibrant vintage necklace showcases the bold color and effortless sophistication that defined Italian jewelry design in the 1980s. Crafted in solid 18k gold, the necklace features alternating stations of lapis lazuli, coral, and malachite, creating a striking rhythm of deep blue, vivid red, and rich green.
The clean geometric cuts of each gemstone are balanced by polished gold links, allowing the natural beauty of the stones to take center stage. At 18 inches, it rests gracefully at the collarbone, making it equally beautiful worn alone or layered with other treasured pieces. Add a pendant or wear on its own.

Jill's Story
Over a decade ago, my journey into jewelry began at a trade publication, where I fell in love with the artistry, symbolism, and stories behind each piece. What started as designing and curating meaningful jewelry for myself, friends and family quickly grew into something more. As my passion grew, my husband encouraged me to take the leap—and JBJ was born.
I’ve always believed jewelry is more than adornment. Before climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, I searched for a piece that would protect and ground me. I found a Ganesha pendant, a symbol of guidance and the remover of obstacles. Wearing it brought me calm, strength, and clarity, reminding me of the profound way jewelry can support the mind & body.
That belief is at the heart of every JBJ piece: jewelry with intention, meaning, and a story that becomes your own.
