Sterling Silver & Lapis Dangle Earrings
 
These beautiful earrings are sold aside from the matching waterfall necklace.  They are amazing in quality and beautifully crafted.  These earrings were originally purchased back in the early 1990's in Santa Fe, NM from a civil servant who spent years traveling abroad with her family during her husbands military service.  The earrings have been very well taken care of with NO cracks or chips to the lapis and NO breaks or dents to metal work.  They are light enough for all day wear and no pull to the earlobes.
