The deep indigo tones of lapis lazuli have made this gemstone irresistible to generations, from the ancient Persians, who thought it symbolised the starry night, via the Orient where it is popular for warding off the evil eye, to Italy where Michelangelo used it as pigment in his paintings. Perfectly paired with the sterling silver setting these opulent studs are a lovely way to celebrate a September birthday. The stone is associated with intellectual ability too so is a lovely good luck or congratulations gift for somebody doing exams. Free delivery available on this item.
