N°1465 Statement Earrings

Every piece is made to order and may take 2 to 7 business days to be shipped. Having said this, most pieces are shipped within 2 days.

These statement earrings are all about our collective attraction to the vivacious & mesmerising semi-precious Lapis Lazuli.  This irresistibly ultra-blue stone has been mined for longer than Gold  (for about 10 000 years in what is Afghanistan today), but it is the Egyptians who made it much more “mainstream “ by turning it into a pigment around 4000 years ago.  During the time of the Dutch Master Painters such as Vermeer it was the most expensive ultramarine pigment on the planet - thankfully this vivid semi-precious stone has become much more affordable today.

In this piece the richness of Afghani Lapis Lazuli is contrasted with tiny faceted Agates and plenty of rich gold.

Psychologists suggest we all share a continued subconscious attraction to this luscious stone because there is nothing much else on this planet that is of such intense blue colouring. For myself, I need no explanation as to why I love Lapis Lazuli – the deepness of the ultra-blue with its fine golden pyrite inclusions fascinates me every time again and works so well with so many outfits!

Like all our pieces, it is handcrafted with love and care in our studio in Lennox Head. These eclectic  statement earrings are made from the following semi-precious stones and findings:

  • Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan
  • Agates from Brazil
  • Set into a gold-plated base from Istanbul and Seoul
  • Approximate length: 6.3cm

These Statement Earringswill be beautifully gift-wrapped and ready as an exceptional gift for yourself or an unexpected gift for someone special.
