Lapis lazuli is one of the September Birthstones, so these lapis stud earrings make a fabulous birthday gift either for a mother whose child is born in September or someone born in September themselves.
Ideal for the office, the cinema or a cocktail party. These statement blue lapis earrings are vibrant and fun, yet the rustic shine of the silver coupled with the ancient granulation technique adds a touch of class to a simple lightly textured form, creating a rough luxe vibe. They can be dressed up or down for any occasion!
These lapis lazuli earrings are inspired by ancient civilisations including those of Egypt and the Etruscans. The golden sarcophagus of King Tutankhamen was richly inlaid with Lapis, as were other burial ornaments of Egyptian kings and queens. It was used extensively in scarabs, pendants, and other jewellery, and ground into powder for dyes, eye shadow, and medicinal elixirs.
The round Lapis lazuli cabochon is carefully hammer set into the silver setting, giving these silver studs a rustic charm.
If you would like the earring posts positioned more centrally so that the stud sits higher up on your ear, please leave a note on your order.
Each pair of lapis and silver earrings or lapis and gold earrings are handcrafted with great care by me in my studio at Lyme Regis.
Available in sterling silver, white gold, yellow gold or rose gold in various carats up on request.… Read More
