‘DEFINITION OF 'STATEMENT JEWELRY':
Statement jewelry is all about visibility, it's all about the ability to attract wandering looks. In short, statement is the opposite of subtle. It is large and it’s the most curated, tasteful and effortless way of staying in the spotlight.They are pieces that will be "Bold,Over the Top & will generally be pieces that the most confident woman will wear,while expressing to the world about who they are & what they're about,through the jewelry they wear"!
**************************
Knowing I am all about one of a kind,statement jewelry,Clarissa read me right & could not have created a better earring! My God, are these stunningly gorgeous or what?? I still can't get over the size & the drop dead look these have! They are definitely unlike any other earring you will ever find,that is if your looking for a earring that will stop people in their track & want earrings that are BEYOND "Over the Top" in size & style!
Clarissa hand cut all the Lapis for these "Showstopper-Runway" style earrings,which is unlike other artists out there that buy their stones already cut,shaped,polished & ready for setting,she chooses to do everything the "Old School" way where everything is done from scratch. Yes,it's very time consuming & a valuable asset to have,especially when you want a specific size or shape! (Lapis is extremely dense & is also not the easiest to cut!)
Made in a "Mirror" style where there is a actual left & right earring,these are made in a 1/2 moon style,where the large center 1/2 moon cut (2" x 1") is a rich blue & & you can witness all the gold pyrite in it, which is known to better Lapis. Round clusters of Lapis surround the center cut,then for additional width,ANOTHER cluster form surrounds those! This addition is what makes the design get wider! 4 Oval cut dangles finalize the design.
With size come weight & these are extremely weighty(Just under 3 ounces!!),so they HAD to have been made into a clip, to prevent tearing of the ear!
**I do want to mention that because of the weight & size,these will work with "average to thick lobes".I have thin lobes & they stay on,but will not work with 'paper thin' lobes because they will slip off because of their weight.So please be aware of this.**
There is only one pair in stock,so if these speak your name,I would not wait & if I kept what I buy for resale,these for sure would be the ones!!
