Imperial Lapis Lazuli Rose "Blooming Wealth" Tassel Statement Earrings Gift

**◈ Designer's Notes** Carefully selected **Imperial Blue Lapis Lazuli (the stone of imperial sacrifice to heaven)** for this design. The blue of **Lapis Lazuli** is pure and vibrant, exuding **righteousness and a connection to the heavens**. The gold and white mineral inclusions within the Lapis Lazuli are incredibly fine, resembling a **sea of stars**. The Lapis Lazuli is meticulously carved into a large **Rose (symbolizing blooming wealth)** pendant. Its **natural, asymmetrical design** is truly unique and rarely seen. Adorned with an 18K gold long tassel, these earrings lend an air of **regal authority** when worn, powerfully showcasing the beauty and energy of Lapis Lazuli with opulent grace and extraordinary presence. **This is a one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its equally extraordinary owner ^^** **Lapis Lazuli** Ancient texts record the use of Lapis Lazuli by Chinese people as early as five thousand years ago, and even earlier by Egyptians, around eight thousand years ago. Chinese emperors used Lapis Lazuli for celestial sacrifices, believing its blue color mirrored the heavens, thus establishing a connection to the divine. Egyptians, on the other hand, believed it facilitated communication with the afterlife. The finest Lapis Lazuli in the world is sourced from Afghanistan. Afghan Lapis Lazuli is known for its deep, commanding blue hue, earning it the reputation of "Imperial Blue." When selecting Lapis Lazuli, look for pieces with a natural distribution of blue, white (calcite), and gold (pyrite) inclusions. As Lapis Lazuli forms near the Earth's surface, it has many pores and should not be exposed to water for extended periods. We recommend regular conditioning with mineral oil. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Imperial Blue Lapis Lazuli, 18K Gold, 925 Silver Dimensions: The Lapis Lazuli flower measures 48mm high, 48mm wide, and 5.8mm thick. The total length, including the ear hook and tassel, is approximately 14cm. **Due to the significant weight of the gemstone, we do not recommend converting them to clip-on earrings ^^**. **◈ Awaiting Your Unique Encounter** We guarantee that this is a one-of-a-kind piece, not mass-produced. Should you wish for a replica or mass production, we trust that you, with your discerning taste, will understand that due to the purely handmade craftsmanship, each piece cannot be 100% identical. However, we will strive to maintain a consistent style and kindly ask for your patience as we craft each masterpiece. **◈ Care and Collection** 1. Natural gemstones possess their own inherent luster and unique textures (such as minor black spots, stone lines, internal fractures, cloudy inclusions, or natural imperfections and asymmetry). Regular wear can reveal subtle color changes in natural gemstones, often making them appear more translucent and captivating – this is also the best form of care. For natural organic gemstones (like coral or amber) with lower hardness and sensitivity to acids and alkalis, avoid cleaning agents when soiled. Simply rinse with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also gently brush them with a soft brush dipped in a small amount of mineral oil (such as baby oil) for conditioning. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, provided it is protected from external damage or strong acids/alkalis that could cause fading. 3. Fabric components (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable, offering a long lifespan, but should be kept away from high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids/alkalis that could cause fading. 4. For any jewelry, when soiled, it is advisable to wipe with a soft cloth dampened with clean water as appropriate, or use a suitable amount of neutral detergent for compatible materials. After washing, ensure the item is dried promptly. 5. When jewelry is removed, it should be stored properly, ideally in packaging to minimize exposure to air and slow down oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy items on top. **◈ Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1. Should you have any questions regarding the piece, please kindly contact us via private message. 2.
