The lapis lazuli is lighter, more like sodalite ( which I also love .). They are well made. Their beauty is in the simplicity of design, letting the stones take center stage. Perfect with jeans. They are not heavy. I will buy from this artist again.
The picture does not show the high polish of the silver work. These earrings are very pretty, so lacy and feminine. Thank you! (Would like to have some coordinating pieces, please.)
The earrings are a beautiful in person as they are in the picture, and light-weight enough that they are comfortable to wear all day long. These are becoming a new favorite.
