Lapis Small Teardrop Earrings with Sapphire Post

Beloved for centuries for its intense blue color, lapis lazuli gemstones even adorned King Tut’s treasures. Vermeer, Titian and other Renaissance painters used paint made from powdered lapis lazuli. It was called ultramarine, the finest and most expensive of all blue pigments.

Our earrings display a lapis pattern to great effect. It evokes so many mysterious realms. Is it celestial, oceanic, or is it our earthscape as seen from space?

Flecked with 22K gold leaf, these teardrops fall from glowing sapphire posts.
