Vintage 18K Gold Lapis Lazuli Cabochon & Diamonds French Clip Stud Earrings

Two triangular lapis lazuli cabochons, bezel-set in 18-karat gold, center this pair of 1960s French clip earrings. Lapis lazuli was a favorite of mid-century Italian and French jewelers, who set its saturated blue against warm gold for a bold, graphic look. Round brilliant diamonds, pavé-set along the outer edge, add a line of sparkle around each stone. Clip backs make the earrings simple to put on, and their compact scale suits both daytime and evening styling.
