These stunning vivid blue earrings are made from natural untreated Lapis Lazuli stone from Afghanistan.
It encourages self-awareness, allows self-expression and reveals inner truth, providing qualities of honesty, compassion and morality to the personality. Stimulates objectivity, clarity and encourages creativity. Lapis Lazuli assists to confront and speak one's truth and inspires confidence.
Lapis Lazuli contains Lazurite, the main constituent, mottled with white calcite and beautiful brassy pyrite.
In ancient Egypt, lapis lazuli was a favourite stone for amulets and ornaments such as scarabs. Lapis jewellery has been found at excavations of the Predynastic Egyptian site Naqada (3300–3100 BC). At Karnak, the relief carvings of Thutmose III (1479-1429 BC) show fragments and barrel-shaped pieces of lapis lazuli being delivered to him as tribute. Powdered lapis was used as eyeshadow by Cleopatra.
These Lapis Lazuli Earrings are fitted with solid sterling silver settings.
We also have Lapis Lazuli bracelets, necklaces and matching pendants available.
