Hand-Forged Lapis Lazuli Elongated Oval Sterling Silver Earrings

These hand-forged sterling silver earrings are built in our Adirondack jewelry studio, featuring elongated oval lapis lazuli stones set in serrated bezels. The deep blue stone is framed with precision, allowing its natural tone to stand forward within a clean, vertical form. This is one-of-a-kind silver jewelry, shaped through disciplined bench work and intentional proportion.

Form & Wearability

Measuring just under 1.5 inches in length, these earrings offer a refined drop with a balanced, lightweight feel. The elongated oval shape creates a natural line, giving presence without excess scale.

A slight overhang of the backplate introduces subtle depth, while maintaining a controlled silhouette. Finished with sterling silver French wires, they are designed for comfortable, everyday wear with steady movement.

Material & Studio Practice

Forged from solid sterling silver, each element is shaped and finished by hand using traditional silversmithing tools. The serrated bezel provides a secure and detailed edge around the lapis, enhancing both structure and texture.

The backplate is cut and formed to follow the stone, with a slight extension that adds dimension without disrupting balance. This is artisan sterling silver work rooted in traditional metalwork and refined through precision at the bench.
