Lapis and Pearl Non-pierced Drop Earrings

These 1 and 9/16 inches (37mm) long clip earrings feature an 8mm (5/16 inch) ball of the gemstone Lapis Lazuli - each with its own unique coloration. Accented with Bukhara caps of golden beads and a 5mm pearl ball they hang from a screwback clip for security. Favored for its deep blue color, ancient Egyptians regarded Lapis as a sacred stone of celestial origin and a symbol of truth. Jewelry of gold and lapis was thought to place the wearer under the protection of the sun and heaven. By MuseuM ReproductionS.
