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 are just simply stunning. In addition to a lovely hue of blue, I like the fact that colored beads are added atop the silver rather than having just the one blue and the rest silver. They all complement each other in a fluid design. VERY happy!
