Vintage Artisan Sterling Silver Lapis Lazuli Inlay Modernist Dangle Earrings

This pair of artisan sterling silver dangle earrings features richly colored lapis lazuli inlay arranged within dramatic open geometric frames. Triangular lapis-set posts suspend elongated, angular drops with tapered open centers and additional lapis inlay, creating a striking design with strong Art Deco and modernist influences. The natural lapis displays varied blue, gray-white, and subtle golden mineral inclusions, giving each earring its own character. These appear to be individually handmade and likely date to the late 20th or early 21st century.

Condition is very good vintage/pre-owned condition with light surface wear consistent with age and use. As expected with handmade jewelry, the two earrings are not perfectly identical, and portions of the lapis inlay do not sit completely flush with the surrounding sterling edges. These irregularities are consistent with the artisan construction and are visible in the photographs.
