Italian Lapis Bead and Gold Earrings, circa 1980s

Twilight stones cradled in golden rope.

Bold yet elegantly restrained, these Italian earrings from the 1980s marry the richness of lapis lazuli with the warmth of 18k yellow gold. Each earring features four polished lapis beads stacked within twisted gold borders, creating a striking architectural silhouette. With their weighty presence and deep blue hue, they evoke the glamour of Mediterranean summers and the confident ease of Italian design.

For the woman who dresses in shadow and sun.
