Lapis and Gold Earrings

A striking pair of vintage lapis lazuli and 14 karat gold earrings. These earrings feature large oval cabochons of vivid blue lapis lazuli framed by substantial gold bezels, creating a simple yet eye-catching design. The generous proportions of the earrings give them wonderful presence when worn, while the smooth, polished surface of the lapis allows the gemstone itself to remain the focus.

Lapis lazuli is a hardstone gem treasured for the deep and vivid hues of blue in which it occurs. It has been prized for thousands of years and remains one of the most historically significant gemstones, valued by ancient civilizations for its intense blue color and natural golden pyrite inclusions.

The rich blue of these particular stones, combined with their numerous glittering pyrite inclusions, is beautifully complemented by the luster of the gold settings. A beautiful pair of vintage lapis earrings with substantial proportions and a classic design.
