These original earrings showcase authentic ancient Mesopotamian lapis lazuli beads dating to approximately 3500 BC — the era of the first cities and the dawn of recorded civilisation. Each bead carries within it one of the oldest and most storied gemstones in human history.

The unusual spoon-shaped form speaks to the extraordinary craft of their makers, rare survivors of a civilisation that prized lapis lazuli above all other stones, trading it across vast distances from the mines of Afghanistan to the courts of Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Set in our signature 22k gold with fine handcrafted detailing, the warmth of the metal deepens the intensity and velvety richness of the stone, creating a conversation between the ancient and the contemporary that is quietly extraordinary.
