Lapis Earrings
Lapis earrings are made from beautiful lapis lazuli in many different shapes and sizes; I add sterling silver, vermeil, or gold-fill and occasionally will mix the lapis lazuli with other gemstones such as sunstone or turquoise or freshwater pearls. Lapis lazuli was used prolifically during ancient times both in decoration and as talismans. Many cultures, including the Romans, thought it was an aphrodisiac.

Clover
Lapis lazuli and freshwater pearls are a new classic combination that looks right just about everywhere and with many different types of clothes. The earrings here are a bit more formal since not only do they have clover-shaped freshwater pearls in a beautiful white, but they Swarovski clear crystals above the lapis. The lapis coins are a lovely shade of blue with a light sprinkling of pyrite for sparkle. The ear studs are also special since they contain a cabochon pearl bezel-set into a sterling silver flower shape. Personal favorite! Price: 46.99 |
