OUR HISTORY
My uncle founded the Lapid Art over 30 years ago in my grandparents shed, he began with craft shows selling his handmade crystal jewellery and the business really grew from there & his love of lapidary (hence the name lapid art)
He opened Lapid Art early in 1995 in Lincoln when I was just 3 years old, I remember so vividly visiting the shop on Steep Hill (where we still are today) throughout my childhood as I know many of our customers do too!
He devoted half of his life to his craft & the shop, when he sadly passed away suddenly in December 2019 I knew I had to carry on the business, there was no way I could let his life's work close down, so I took over the business in 2020 & haven’t looked back!

At the heart of everything we do are our ethos that haven’t changed since we opened & we will continue to work hard to stick by these. It is so important to us that all of our pieces are ethically sourced & we have continued to work with the same suppliers that we have for the last 30 years to guarantee this.
We love to create a little haven of unique, refined & exciting pieces which is why we update our items all the time, keeping it fresh & interesting for all of our visitors.
Most importantly we want everyone to be able to share in our passion for crystals & fossils which is why we work hard to find affordable pieces for everyone, even the little ones that are just beginning their collection.
