Delicate ovals of sterling silver frame sodalite stones in a pair of original earrings. Their lacy femininity takes its inspiration from jewelry worn in the 1800s. Working with the lost wax process, Gianluca Anzani creates each piece with intricate detail. Sodalite is valued for its ability to lead to self knowledge; the gemstone is thought to soothe and clear the mind, relieving fear.

"High-end"
One of the sodalite is rough at touch and has too much white streaks for a jewellery grade gem. The other sodalite is fairly blue. When worn together, the quality difference between two sodalites is impossible to reconclie. Both sodalites are placed off-centered. The baseplate polish is rugged. The silver is showing reddish orange tint. The small bead at the end has hollow back.I have bought three more jewellery from Gianluca. This one fails short in terms of detailing and quality perhaps.

"Refined Beauty"
19th Century, 2.7 long earrings are as pictured. The sodalite stone is blue with slight whitish markings that actually can only be seen close up.. The silver around the stone has a matte finish to set off the stone to good effect. The reminder of silver has a shine to reflect light. The contrast of the silver finish and design detail is what makes the 19th Century earrings stunning. Not bold, a refined eye catcher. Very slight weight. Happy with purchase.

"Superb Workmanship"
Gorgeous detail. Not heavy on the ears. I happened to be very fond of the artisan.His work is high quality and none of his designs can be found anywhere else.

"Beauty on the ears"
These earrings are quite pretty and a very good size dangle. I'm usually more of a modern jewelry type, but got these on a whim. Glad that I did, I get lots of nice comments on them. Beauty was surely created by the artist, Gianluca Anzani. Thank you for your creation, I love wearing these earrings.

"Beautifully crafted"
These are my second pair of these earrings. They were my favorites and when I lost one I was so glad Gianluca was still making them. Nice weight, perfect dangle length and beautifully crafted.

"Elegant and graceful"
These earrings are very elegant and graceful. When I take walks through the woods by the creek occasionally I will see a heron. It is one of nature s most glorious creatures. The earrings evoke the feeling of the bird in a gentle, harmonious way.
