Undrilled 8mm lapis lazuli spheres are held securely in a tear-drop shaped cage of twisted gold plate wire. I've added a 4mm lapis bead to connect the cages to 14 kt gold fill French hooks. The earrings measure a hair more than 2-1/4" from the top of the earwire to the bottom of the cage. Understated and elegant, they're from SPARKLE PLENTY, of course. All of our one of a kind and limited edition artisan beaded jewelry is individually handcrafted in our studio in Los Angeles, California.
