Hand Crafted Lapis & Sterling Silver Earrings
 
Stunning lapis and sterling bead earrings.  The design is almost like a sunburst in nature with oval lapis stones set to the center.  The lapis on these has a more purplish tone in the sunlight with a nice sheen and NO cracks or chips.  The metal work is all hand crafted and stamped with 925 and origin marks.  Fashioned with ear wires and include clear soft plastic backers for added security.  I can get these is almost any color (red coral, black onyx, turquoise, pink coral and more).  The perfect gift for the mother of the bride attending that fall wedding or surprise someone for their birthday.
