Sterling Silver Lapis Flower Gemstone Bead Lever Back Earrings
Stargazing Under the Desert Sky
Summer days offer plenty of opportunities to check fun plans off your bucket list, but the excitement doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down ~ if you just remember to look UP! On a clear night in the Southwest, the desert sky is decorated with stars that dance and twinkle, whispering tales of their cosmic journeys. The Lapis beads on these earrings and the free movement of the dangle design eloquently capture that sense of celestial magic and spiritual wonder. The golden flecks (called “inclusions”) of pyrite in the Lapis shimmer just like the stars in the night sky do, waiting to be admired by fashionistas and nature enthusiasts alike.

Sharing Stories by the Campfire
Some of the best summer memories are made by simply sharing those special moments with others. Roast s’mores together and exchange stories about achievements, current interests, and fiery passions. The art of storytelling has long been a tradition for Native Americans to pass down history, experiences, and even life lessons to new generations. These earrings, inspired by the heritage of the Southwest, serve as a reminder to slow down, listen, and learn. Try these earrings in Lapis too!
