Oh lapis, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways!
Lapis is a semi-precious gemstone that is remarkably intense with its rich, deep-blue hue. It’s the sort of stone that goes with everything, but we especially love it in these upcoming fall and winter months. Take, for instance, the KiraKira Gold and Lapis Belle Epoch Ring, a stunning, vintage-style bauble that radiates with lapis. The dark blue gem creates an heirloom feel that never goes out of style. The epoch ring is a statement ring if there ever was one.
Lapis is highly covet-worthy for another reason: it has the amazing ability to look luxurious without breaking the bank. Need proof? Check out Wednesday Collection’s Lapis Multi Gemstone Amy Earrings ($65) – playful, pebble-esque studs that are super versatile! Another gorgeous piece of lapis-laden ear candy is Minu Jewels Lapis Crystal Drop Earrings ($40). We’re obsessed with these earrings because they resemble a midnight sky, a feature that can instantly glam up your evening ensemble. For more lapis on a budget go with Blu Bijoux’s Faux Lapis Open Cone Bangle ($22), an open-ended bracelet that’s super on-trend right now.
Lapis wins the award for Miss Congeniality; yet another reason to fall for lapis is its versatility. Lapis can be combined with nearly every other material and make it shine. Meghna Designs created some gorgeous cubic zirconia chandelier earrings that feature just the tiniest hint of lapis: Gold CZ Green And Blue Jai Ho Earrings. The union elevates the piece (and your style) from pretty to pretty extraordinary!
If you want lapis center stage (and we don’t blame you), then check out Didi Jewellery’s Silver Lapis and Topaz Candy Stick Pendant Necklace. This unique piece offers the brilliant lapis stone in a long-chained style. Definitely a conversation starter.
Of all the jewelry styles and trends to pervade our jewelry boxes, lapis is easily one of our favorites. Timeless and retro-chic, with a vibrant, bold quality, lapis is simply lovely.
