Sterling silver earrings with lapis dangles.
Our simple sweep earrings are an elegant and versatile addition to your jewelry collection - we would even call these essential! A faceted lapis briolette dangles gracefully from the smooth sterling silver sweep - it moves when you move and catches the light.
Lapis Lazuli comes from the Latin lapis, meaning “stone” and the Arabic azula, meaning “blue”. Lapis can have a smooth, uniform color but frequently contains varying amounts of white calcite, and flecks or veins of glinting golden pyrite. It is considered an alternate birthstone for September, after sapphire, and the stone for the 7th and 9th wedding anniversaries.
A briolette is a gemstone cut characterized by its elongated pear or oval shape and numerous triangular facets. The cut maximizes light reflection, creating a brilliant sparkle and vibrant display of color.
