Joie de Vivre jewelry

The colors of sun-baked earth and vivid Southwestern sky contrast in this jewelry set of citrine and lapis lazuli gemstones. Citrine is a quartz variety in which iron oxide gives the gemstone its distinctive yellow orange color. Much of the dark blue lapis comes from Afghanistan, and the lighter color gemstone, like in this jewelry set, comes from China. Faceted citrine rondelles are the base of the 20" slim strand necklace, accented with deep blue lapis lazuli rectangles and sterling silver beads. The necklace is versatile as well as beautiful; it can be worn as a multi-wrap bracelet as well. The 3" drop earrings feature stacked lapis lazuli beads and a glowing citrine nugget. Sterling silver ear wires and toggle clasp.

Cost: $108.00 USD
