A beautiful pair of vintage lapis lazuli and 14 karat gold earrings. These earrings feature softly rounded oval shaped cabochons of richly colored blue lapis lazuli set into simple gold bezels. Their substantial proportions create a wonderful presence on the ear.

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, admired for its beautiful blue color and natural inclusions of pyrite and calcite.

I particularly like the simplicity of this pair. The gold setting is understated enough to allow the beautiful blue lapis to remain the focus, making these earrings easy to wear while still having plenty of personality. They fasten with 14 karat gold posts and Omega style backs.
