These natural deep blue, Lapis Lazuli, 13 mm x 18 mm silver leverback earrings are simply stunning.

🔮 Lapis Lazuli is one of the most sought after stones throughout history, dating back to over 7000 BC.  It has been found in Neolithic burials and was even found in the burial mask of Tutankhamen.

In the Middle Ages the stone was ground up into powder and used as the highly valued paint pigment ultramarine, the finest and most expensive of all blue pigments.

Lapis Lazuli was used by some of the most important artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including: Masaccio, Perugino, Titian and Vermeer.  

It is said to encourage self-awareness, to allow self-expression and reveals inner truth.  Many believe that it enhances the qualities of honesty, compassion and morality in the wearer and that it stimulates clarity, objectivity and encourages creativity.

The best Lapis Lazuli in the world comes from Afghanistan, although it is also mined in remote regions of Russia, in the Andes mountains in Chile and elsewhere in lesser quantities.

This beautiful earring will stand out on whoever is lucky enough to wear it.
