Two pear-shaped lapis-lazuli cabochons, natural untreated lapis lazuli set in 925 sterling silver earrings from Afghanistan.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale, two pear-cut cabochons, polished into a dome, reveal a deep and velvety midnight blue, sprinkled with tiny pyrite flecks evoking a starry sky. A lapis lazuli of fine quality, set in a sober and elegant 925 silver mount.
Lapis-lazuli has been mined for more than 6,000 years in the Badakhshan mountains, in Afghanistan.
Egyptian pharaohs adorned it on their funerary masks, and Cleopatra used it ground into powder as an eyeshadow. It is one of the oldest stones in the history of human jewelry.
In lithotherapy, lapis-lazuli is associated with the third eye chakra and the throat. It is attributed with mental clarity, authentic communication, and a connection to intuition. It supports those who seek to express their inner truth with confidence.

1. Secure shipment with tracking number.
2. Shipment twice a week. For Europe and internationally, the delivery time can vary from 8 to 15 days depending on the destination and customs checks at the borders.
3. All my stones are genuine with no color treatment, resin, or plastic. They have all been carefully selected, but since they are natural and artisanal products, they may sometimes show small imperfections.
4. Mounted on 925 sterling silver to minimize allergies and/or skin reactions as much as possible. Blocking caps provided.
5. The stones have shimmering reflections that change with light, indoor lighting, or sunshine. Photos were taken from different angles and under different lighting conditions to show you the various aspects.
Thank you for your interest and happy bidding."
