Lapis Lazuli and Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings, elapd3455

Lapis Lazuli and Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings. These are one of a kind (ooak) art. I personally hand cut the gemstones, then hand forged the metalwork to take advantage of the beauty of the stones. I've hired a model so you can see how the earrings will look on you. Heady Lapis, my model, promises not to leave any trace of humanity on the ear wires :0)

Lapis Lazuli

Commonly referred to as lapis, an opaque dark blue rock made up of several minerals. Lapis having a royal blue color with shimmering inclusions of pyrite and calcite is considered to be the best quality. Lapis has been regarded as the stone of friendship and truth.
