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.
These earrings are very beautiful. I just wish that they had the "security latch" instead of the kind that just loops through one's ear lobe. Please start making more earrings with the security latch!
