Lapis with Sapphire Earrings with 22K Gold.

Cut these matching rectangular earrings from a rare lapis specimen from the original mines in Afghanistan. These mines are hundreds of years old and the material is deeply colored and is natural and untreated. I cut them in a bookend style because there is a subtle scenic pattern in the stones reminiscent of a midnight sunset scene. Set with blue sapphires in 14K gold filled settings and 22K gold Keumboo highlights. 1”H x ¾ “W.
