NATURAL LAPIS LAZULI AND PEARL STERLING SILVER DROP AND DANGLE EARRINGS. 925

These earrings have a certain theatre to them - ornate, but not Baroque. Crafted in sterling silver, the earrings feature a long pear-faceted lapis lazuli inserted into a sterling silver cap that dangles from the long hooks. The silver cap features an ornate tassel design fashioned in sterling silver that sits below a bezel set oval pearl. The colour combination is lovely - the lapis lazuli faceting emphasises the rich, deep blue with the gold pyrite flecks, typical of the gemstone. The pearl's soft lustre is particularly white against the dark finish sterling silver. The earrings are quite big, measuring a glorious 55mm long x 18mm wide and weigh 6,85 grams together. They bear the 925 hallmark indicating sterling silver. Dramatic and elegant, these earrings are quite special, real dress-up earrings featuring one of nature's more interesting natural gemstones.
