Two lapis lazuli cabochons open this design with a deep navy hue, and the cabochon cut brings out the density of the colour instead of scattering it through facets. The modern, dangle form lets the stones move freely along the neckline and close to the face, bringing life even to hair worn up. These are earrings you'll notice in the mirror before anyone else does.

Both stones were matched so that the colour of one echoes the other, giving an impression of consistent, uniform depth across the whole design. Lapis lazuli has long been associated with ideals, intuition and inner harmony, which makes these earrings a good choice for a gift with personal meaning. They are set in refined European silver 925, additionally rhodium-plated - the rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, so the shine doesn't fade after months of wear. The pure alloy, free of nickel and other metals known to cause skin reactions, offers comfort even for sensitive skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark establishing the origin of the piece, registered with the assay office in France. Silver and quality stones are steadily rising in price, and lapis lazuli with such an even colour is becoming increasingly rare - which makes today's price look reasonable.

For city style, these earrings pair well with a simple white shirt and classic jeans, while a leather jacket adds a touch of modern ease to the look. Hair pulled back or tied up reveals the neckline and lets the navy of the stone contrast freely with the skin. With an outfit like this, it's the colour of the lapis lazuli that draws the eye most. Their medium size and weight of 4.4 grams make these earrings light to wear all day, from a morning outing to an evening event.
