This stylish resin bottle opener was handmade by me in my Buderim studio. It has embedded semi-precious lapis lazuli gemstones and stainless steel hardware. The stones are embedded in clear food-safe resin in a mould and after curing the hardware is attached with resin, making this piece a strong but stylish addition to your bar or a great gift idea for your family and friends, or someone who just appreciates beautiful objects!
Lapis lazuli is a semi-precious stone valued for its deep blue colour. The source of the pigment ultramarine, it is not a mineral but a rock coloured by lazurite. It is said to stimulate the third eye chakra, enhancing intuition and spiritual awareness. This is why it's often used in meditation and spiritual practices. Lapis Lazuli is also known for its protective properties and is said to release stress and bring peace. Lapis lazuli is widely recognized as a traditional or alternative birthstone for September, though it has also been historically linked to December or January in some traditions.
Other bottle openers I've created with this shape and inlaid semi-precious stones are peridot, rose quartz and amethyst (please see separate listings in my shop).
Comes in a presentation box ready for gifting, or as a self-indulgence!
