Lapis Long Dangles

Lapis Lazuli has long been a beloved precious element since ancient Egypt and used for everything from elixirs to eye shadow. Persia, too, fell in love with the twinkling delight of lapis and it was often used as a symbol for star-laden nights. Michelangelo also ground lapis to a silken powder, to be turned into the ultramarine hue that would paint the heavens.

Lapis today is a very popular gemstone. These deep, celestial blue stones are faceted and handset in smooth sterling silver by master artisans in India. Complete with sterling earwires.
