Lapis Lazuli is one of the oldest known gemstones and has been used to make jewelry in various parts of the world since prehistoric times. In ancient cultures such as Egypt, Mexico, and the Eastern Empires, it was considered a sacred stone and was highly prized. Kings and queens around the world loved and wore Lapis Lazuli.
The name comes from Latin and means "blue stone". It is said to enhance one's own sincerity and credibility and promote the willingness to recognize, accept, and speak the truth.
The delicate ring band smoothly wraps around the finger and is precisely crafted into the matte gold-plated setting. This gently encloses the Lapis Lazuli and highlights its rich blue color as well as its golden inclusions.
These earrings are made of 925 sterling silver and have been fully plated with gold using a galvanic gold bath. The gold perfectly complements the faceted Lapis Lazuli, which contains small golden inclusions. A small golden bead at the bottom of the design adds a finishing touch. The earrings can be paired with other pieces in the Lapis Lazuli collection, which includes two pendants, a necklace, a pair of earrings, and two rings.
The creation of these unique pieces of jewelry required the skilled craftsmanship of Balinese silverworkers. We have developed a 20-year working relationship with our professional silversmiths, who were able to expertly incorporate the stone into the setting with precise transitions and a smooth finish.
