Lapis Lazuli Earrings in Sterling Silver  

Deep Blue Afghan Lapis Set in .925 Silver Settings

Lapis lazuli rates 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it softer than quartz but durable enough for earrings with proper care. The blue color comes from lazurite, the primary mineral in this rock, while white calcite veins and brass-colored pyrite inclusions create the patterns that make each stone distinct. Our lapis comes from Afghan sources, where the highest-grade material has been mined since the Bronze Age. Every pair ships in protective packaging to prevent scratches during transit. The sterling silver settings carry the .925 hallmark, indicating 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength. We recommend storing lapis earrings separate from harder gemstones and cleaning with a soft dry cloth rather than ultrasonic cleaners or steam.
