Lapis lazuli earrings draw the eye with a deep, navy blue that takes on an almost velvety intensity in warm light. The cabochon cut showcases the colour without scattering it across facets - two stones of rich, dark tone are suspended on slender posts, creating a dangle and drop form measuring 5.0 cm in length. The silhouette is clean and modern, and the minimal setting keeps all attention on the stone.

Lapis lazuli has long been associated with idealism and intuition - in many cultures it was a symbol of harmony and clarity of thought. Each of the two stones is selected for colour and clarity, because a specimen with such an even, deep hue is genuinely hard to find. The availability of quality stones is limited by nature itself, and silver prices are steadily rising - making this a sensible purchase today. Refined sterling silver 925 is free from nickel and harmful impurities, so it will not irritate even sensitive skin. Rhodium - one of the hardest coating metals - protects the surface against scratches and tarnishing, ensuring a lasting shine for years to come. European quality craftsmanship and the French maker's mark stamped on the piece attest to the metal's origin.

At a family celebration, these earrings pair beautifully with an elegant dress in a deep colour - navy, bottle green or black - where warm light draws out the full richness of the stone. With a bare neck and hair pinned up, the 5 cm length moves freely, and the navy accent near the face brings life to a classic, understated look.
