Stunning lapis lazuli earrings are absolutely stunning on every woman. The deep blue stones draw the eyes of passerbys to your face. Buy lapis earrings if you want to be noticed! They are a great piece to add to your lapis lazuli collection.

A wide variety of earring styles are available in lapis. Sterling silver lapis earrings are hot in chandelier, dangle, drop and stud designs. You'll find gorgeous faceted beaded hoop lapis earrings as well as gorgeous cabochons.

After you choose a style, color is probably what you should consider next when buying lapis earrings. Color is the biggest value factor when choosing quality lapis lazulis. When shopping for quality genuine lapis lazuli earrings, choose a pair with stones that have deep, saturated, rich color. Gold or silver specks in the stones are very desirable too.

Lapis earrings are often set with other stones, especially in earrings set with inlays. The blue gem inlay is often paired with green turquoise, red coral and white mother of pearl. Lapis lazuli inlaid earrings often depict a floral motif, but you'll also find them with intricate abstract designs, too.

Learn how to care for your lapis earrings to keep them looking great for years to come. Because lapis is a soft gemstone, it can be easily damaged. Avoid using hairspray, perfume or cosmetics while wearing your lapis lazuli earrings.. These products can damage the finish on your stones.

Never try to clean lapis lazuli earrings in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Wipe your earrings with a soft cloth after you wear them to clean perspiration and oils from your skin before you store them. Keep your earrings in a jewellery bag or wrapped in plastic to keep other jewelry pieces from scratching the stones.

The world’s largest source of the blue gemstone is a mine in Afghanistan, and it has nearly been cleaned out. Unfortunately, that means top-grade quality lapis lazuli gemstones have become increasingly harder to come by.  If you love lapis jewelry, now is a good time to buy a great pair of lapis earrings while quality stones are still available.
