Rhodonite, Large Lapis Cubes and Botswana Marquise Dangle Earrings, 14K Gold Fill

The stones tell the story: brilliant blue lapis cubes, highly polished pink marquise-shaped Botswana agates, and sparkling, richly colored rhodonites. Together, they create an unexpected palette, from electric “Yves Klein blue” to deep rose and dusty pink.

The lapis cubes are 8mm, large for cube-shaped beads, with beautiful faceting and just a sprinkle of gold flecking. They’re statement-makers even on their own. The rhodonite is an intense, unenhanced rose that’s hard to find. And pinkish Botswana agate in a marquise shape? Stunners.

Matching the lapis cubes for size and color was one thing. Matching Botswana agates in a marquise shape with a compatible size and hue was another challenge entirely. That’s what makes this combination one of a kind.

As September’s birthstone, lapis anchors the design, setting the rhodonite and Botswana agate against its saturated blue.
