Lapis Lazuli Earrings | 15mm Round | September Birthstone | Sterling Silver

Two 15mm discs of lapis lazuli in double bezel sterling silver frames, hung from ear wires: the boldest earrings in our lapis collection. The gold pyrite flecks against the deep blue are often compared to stars in a night sky.

The details

• Stones: natural lapis lazuli, 15mm diameter cabochons
• Setting: sterling silver, double bezel
• Fitting: ear wire

About lapis lazuli

Lapis rates around 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, softer than quartz, which is why it has always been popular for carving and inlay. It is said to promote harmony and honest conversation.

Why it makes a good gift

• September birthstone and Virgo zodiac stone
• Traditional 9th wedding anniversary gemstone
• Pair with the 13mm or 20mm circle pendant for a set

How to wear it

These are a statement pair, so keep the rest simple: hair up and a plain neckline. They suit evening wear and look striking with black or white.
