Beautiful, sparkly Lapis Lazuli teardrop briolettes are wire-wrapped and hung from handmade ear wires. All metal used is 14k Gold-Filled. These Lapis are superb, with great shine and color, about 10mm long (average 4.75 carats each) - see the third photo for size comparison to a pencil eraser. They are a gorgeous saturated blue, with a nice amount of glittering pyrite inclusions. These earrings make a great gift for a September birthday, as Lapis is commonly used as a substitute birthstone (Sapphire being the official September birthstone). OPTIONS: • 14K Yellow Gold-Filled is the default; however rose gold-filled, white gold-filled, sterling silver, Argentium silver, or Fine Silver, or oxidized silver are all availalbe - just let me know if you prefer one of those! (see below) • Note that my white gold-filled is a soft warm white, not a bright white, and it DOES contain nickel - it can only be shipped within the USA as it has not been tested to comply with the import standards for other countries. • Sterling silver will oxidize over time; Argentium and Fine silver are tarnish-resistant (NOT proof!); Fine Silver stays VERY soft, but is better for some people as it is less reactive. • Leverback ear wires are available (in sterling or 14k yellow gold-filled only) for an additional $4 - contact me for a custom listing if you would like this option. • Larger stones are also available (up to 5.5 carat average each); contact me for a quote! • Click here for all of my Lapis jewelry, including coordinating necklaces: • Upgraded gift Wrap, expedited shipping, shipping insurance, and more are available for a small charge - contact me for a quote! ---- • TERMS AGREEMENT: To be updated shortly - if you purchase this in the interim I will send you a copy of my Terms before shipping. ***ALL INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Read my Shipping Policies section - to be updated shortly - if you purchase this for international delivery in the interim, I will contact you to confirm details, and I reserve the right to cancel the purchase. -----
