How to wear it These studs are built for everyday wear - pair them with any outfit for a small, steady pop of blue. Because lapis is a relatively soft stone, it's best to put them in after applying perfume or lotion, and take them off before swimming, showering, or sleeping to keep the facets and gold-filled setting looking their best. Care & cleansing Lapis lazuli contains pyrite and calcite alongside lazurite, which makes it relatively soft and somewhat porous. Wipe the stones with a soft, barely-damp cloth and dry promptly. Avoid soaking, and keep the studs away from salt and harsh chemicals, since prolonged moisture can affect the pyrite and calcite content and dull the stone's finish. Frequently asked questions What are these lapis lazuli studs used for? They're a decorative jewelry piece, not a health product. They're meant to be worn as everyday statement earrings, with meanings drawn from crystal tradition rather than medical claims. Is the stone in these studs natural lapis lazuli? Yes. Each stone is natural lapis, so the depth of blue and the pyrite flecking vary from pair to pair - your studs will be unique and may differ slightly from the photo. What is the setting made of? The studs are set in gold-filled findings, giving them a warm gold tone that's more durable than gold plating. What chakra is lapis lazuli associated with? In crystal tradition, lapis lazuli is most often linked to the third eye chakra. How do I care for lapis lazuli earrings? Wipe the stones with a soft, barely-damp cloth, remove them before swimming or showering, and avoid perfume, lotion, salt, or harsh chemicals contacting the stone. Can I wear these studs every day? Yes, they're designed as an everyday stud, though like any lapis piece they should be kept dry and away from harsh chemicals to protect the stone's finish.
