{"product_id":"arc-threader-earrings-sterling-silver-lapis-lazuli","title":"Arc Threader Earrings - Sterling Silver \u0026 Lapis Lazuli","description":"\u003cp\u003eSix thousand years before anyone called it a gemstone, lapis lazuli was already sacred. The Sumerians crushed it into pigment for their temple walls. Egyptian pharaohs lined their burial masks with it. Vermeer ground it into ultramarine — the most expensive blue on any Renaissance palette — because no other color could hold that depth, that quiet, saturated infinity. Lapis was never decorative. It was elemental.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is something about the way a true lapis catches light that no synthetic will ever replicate: the matte warmth of it, the faint gold flecks of pyrite scattered like constellations through deep blue stone. It asks to be set simply, with restraint, so the material can speak. That is exactly what Bijou by SAM has done here — a woman-owned studio in Montana where each piece is shaped by hand, one at a time, with an eye toward quiet permanence rather than trend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single lapis bead suspended on a sterling silver arc that threads cleanly through the ear and curves behind the lobe. Nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe threader design in sterling silver gives these a modern, architectural line — a gentle arc that moves with you and sits flush against the skin. At 1¼ inches including the ear wire and just 1 gram per earring, they are so light they nearly disappear. The sterling silver is hypoallergenic, and the construction is made to last well beyond the season you buy them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted by Bijou by SAM.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bijou by SAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43666629820463,"sku":"014-E-10012","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/1065\/8863\/files\/11F65100-2FF9-4973-AFCF-1959C94CB7CE.jpg?v=1746301293","url":"https:\/\/haroldandhazel.live\/products\/arc-threader-earrings-sterling-silver-lapis-lazuli","provider":"Harold \u0026 Hazel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
