London Hypermarket Vintage Lapis Lazuli Earrings
These interestingly figured denim lapis square cabochons had a life before the London Hypermarket, where I bought them in 1976 -- they were the focal point of a sterling silver ankle bracelet, and I never wore ankle bracelets. So I had the links to the bracelet portion removed, and the studs added. Upcycle! They are wonderful earrings, and ready for their next life ... with you?

Denim Lapis
Dark and light blue lapis are beautiful celestial stones, which are believed to make the wearer in a good mood throughout the day. Known as the Stone of Wisdom, since it works with the mind, body, and spirit.
The name came from the Latin word Lapis, which means stone, and the Persian word Lashward, which means blue. It has been loved since the time of the Egyptian Pharoahs, and before. A Lapis mine was found in Bhirrana, which is the oldest site of the Indus Valley Civilization, 7570 BCE. Some Bible scholars believe lapis has its reference from the Old Testament which includes Lapis lazu.
Fun Fact: Michelangelo ground up lapis to create ultramarine blue paint, which graces the robes of Mary of Nazareth in his paintings.
It is thought to promote deep healing of outdated thoughts and mental patterns, and change negative views to a positive outlook. It is a useful tool for those who suffer panic attacks, or emotional upheaval.
