A pair of elegant Marquise shapred Lapis Lazuli drop earrings . The deep blue is a regal colour highly valued in ancient Tibetan culture. 

Lapis lazuli was formed as the result of contact metamorphism when pre existing limestone and marble rocks were changed by the intense heat and pressure of intruding magmas.  Many Lapis Lazuli stones exhibit a speckled gold or silver glint due to the presence of shiny iron pyrites.

The Egyptians believed wearing Lapis would ensure immortality while the Sumeriams believed it would ensure a loving relationship.  Cleopatra's iconic blue eye shadow was originally the dust of Lapis Lazuli stones.. Leonardo da Vinci and other Masters used Lapis Lazuli to create vibrant blue pigments for their masterpieces

A birthstone for Capricorn and Libra.  A symbol of honour, courage, wisdom and truth . May bring harmony and inner tranquility.
