Lapis Earrings in Medium Silver Contoured Hoops #2

Completely smooth, each piece has gorgeous striations running through it and flecks of golden minerals shimmering in the light in this beautiful bookmatched pair!

Lapis is one of the oldest opaque gemstones in history--more than 6,500 years! This deep blue stone includes tiny flecks of mica, like a night sky full of stars. 

The Sumerians believed that the spirit of their gods lived within the stone, while the ancient Egyptians saw it as a symbol of the night sky. Since the earliest of times, lapis lazuli has been associated with strength and courage, royalty and wisdom, intellect and truth. From antiquity, lapis lazuli has been worn in the belief that it will ward off evil. In ancient Egypt, it was powdered and worn about the eyes to improve eyesight. Today, it is considered by some to be an aid to balancing the third eye chakra (which influences vision and hearing).
