A Guide To Most Popular Lapis Lazuli Jewellery Pieces

Loved from the mines of Afghanistan to Ancient Egypt to today, the striking deep blue gemstone called lapis lazuli has always been a desired jewellery through the years.

Whether you are an enthusiast, collector, or someone looking to buy some exquisite jewellery, we are here to explore all the types of lapis lazuli accessories as well as insights on how you can style these marvellous pieces.

Types of Lapis Lazuli Jewellery

Earrings

Stud Earrings:

These earrings stay fixed to your ears and are usually one singular point. Lapis lazuli stud earrings will be perfect for adding a pop of colour to your outfit. The simplicity allows the natural elegance of the gemstone to come through.

The stud will be a point of vibrant blue and it would look amazing with a crisp white blouse. We recommend wearing solid colours that can contrast with the deep blue.

Dangle Earrings:

A subclass of drop earrings, you should go for this pair if you prefer the dramatic swing. You can choose the gemstone in various shapes like teardrops or ovals, and go for silver or gold chains.

These are perfect for evening events and formal occasions. Perhaps with a beautiful gown. We recommend an updo hairstyle to draw attention to the earrings and elongate your neck.

Rings

This type of rings comes in a lot of different cuts. With a smaller stone, you can wear them daily without overwhelming your outfit (though, it is crucial to take care of them) or you could go for a more dramatic size and cut for special occasions.

Wear it on your index or middle finger to establish it as the main focal point.

While solitaire rings are more elegant, cluster rings are more striking. However, there are options. You could opt for smaller stones arranged around a central lapis lazuli gem for a dramatic accessory. Or you could go for a simpler cluster of the gemstones set together.

These rings go well with a bohemian or eclectic look. You can also match them with other gemstone rings for a more layered look.

Pendants

Lapis lazuli pendants are a go-to accessory that matches well with just about anything. A simple lapis lazuli pendant, whether set in gold or silver, is minimalistic and sits beautifully close to the heart.

You can keep it as it is for everyday wear. For a modern, stacked look, layer them with other delicate necklaces!

For those who appreciate bold jewellery, statement pendants with large, intricately carved lapis lazuli stones are for you! These pieces often have very detailed metalwork, truly embodying royalty. These pieces often feature additional gemstones or detailed metalwork, adding to their allure.

Wear them for special occasions, perhaps an anniversary. You can wear something simple to contrast the pendant or go for something equally dramatic to complement the jewellery.

Bracelets

This accessory is a perfect laid-back option that doesn’t compromise the elegance of the gemstone. It’s a perfect blend of casual chic.

There’s a lot of room for experimentation here. You can mix the lapis lazuli with other gemstones or metals and create something truly unique, truly yours.

If you are not a fan of the laid-back approach, there are always cuff bracelets for a more eye-catching look! The polished lapis lazuli is set in a wide metal band, sure to draw the attention of those around you.

You can match it with lapis lazuli earrings or rings with similar metal. Sleeveless tops or dresses will help you show the bracelet off.

Necklaces

A great accessory to bring this striking gemstone into your wardrobe. As chokers sit snugly around the neck, lapis lazuli is bound to become the star of your outfit and therefore this is one of the best options if you want to flaunt the royal blue gemstone.

The best clothes for this accessory are without a doubt any top or dress that is off-the-shoulder. It helps the choker pop.

They can be uniform lapis beads that are more of a classic look or ascend to chunkier lapis stones for a more bold and modern approach. Tassels and charms can be added, as per your preference.

While they are stunning on their own, we strongly suggest layering them. A mix of long and short necklaces adds dimensions. A simple blouse will make the entire outfit effortless.
