No. 24 – Lapis Moon & Abalone | Miniature Worlds Paperweight

Every Miniature World begins with a single bead — and a question: what story does it want to tell? This one answered with stillness. Deep midnight blue lapis beads, arranged in perfect orbit, encircle a luminous abalone center — as if the moon itself had been captured and sealed in resin, watched over by planets of polished stone.

This round resin paperweight is a study in meditative geometry. A ring of large, smooth midnight blue lapis lazuli beads forms a perfect circle around the perimeter of the clear resin dome, their deep blue surfaces catching light with subtle iridescence. At the center, a polished abalone shell cabochon glows with shifting greens, blues, and silvers — like a window into still water. A delicate silver wire swirl curls at its heart, adding an organic, handcrafted counterpoint to the precision of the bead arrangement.
