Inlay Gemstones with Lapis Lazuli and Sterling Silver Earrings- Inlay techniques are a true testament to skilled craftsmanship, as their creation involves meticulous precision and artistry. Each smooth, polished gemstone: such as turquoise, lapis lazuli, coral, malachite or sugilite—must be carefully shaped and sized to fit perfectly into a recessed area of materials like silver. The process requires a steady hand and an eye for detail, as even the slightest imperfection can disrupt the seamless, flush finish. Additionally, the natural variations in stone texture, color, and hardness add complexity, demanding adaptability and expertise from the artisan. The result is a luxurious, one-of-a-kind piece that showcases the beauty of the materials and the dedication behind its creation. The oval Inlay Gemstones in these earrings are a testament to that skilled craftsmanship!
I added deep blue Lapis Lazuli rounds to this cascade earring style design, which plays beautifully with the blue in the oval inlay gems. Each stone in these earrings is similarly set in sterling silver, attached to each other with little sterling silver rings, soldered closed for security. These one of a kind earrings have beautiful swing when worn!
These sterling silver earrings measure 2" in length from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the inlay, and are lightweight and easy to wear all day -- or all night -- long.
