Inspired by traditional Italian pottery, these forward-facing hoop earrings feature lapis lazuli speckled gemstones set into multi-facetted crystals. These rich blue earrings are perfect for making a colourful statement.
Behind the name: Majolica is a style of tin-glazed earthenware and pottery, most notably from 15th century Italy. The designs usually feature renaissance-inspired iconography and the primary colour used was blue, with an extended palette of yellow, red and green.
A note on lapis lazuli: Known as the 'stone of rulers', in ancient times this stone was forbidden to commoners and worn only by royalty. Lapis lazuli is thought to enhance awareness, insight and intellect, bringing peacefulness and self acceptance. A symbol of wisdom and truth, this gemstone helps to promote communication and aid in the process of learning, as well as help to enhance memory. Usually deep blue in colour with golden flecks of pyrite.

Our collections are handmade by family-run workshops and artisans in Italy and Turkey. Each piece is unique.
We only make our jewellery in small batches and encourage our customers to only purchase what sparks joy, as to avoid unnecessary returns. Nothing we make is mass produced.
Our jewellery and products are designed in-house at Soru HQ, based on a quiet leafy street in Solihull, UK.
We use natural gemstones and baroque pearls within our gold plated silver collection which may contain internal inclusions, irregular edges, uneven surfaces and variations in the colours. No two gems are the same, adding to the beauty and uniqueness of each individual gem.
If you wish to exchange your item for a different shape or colour, please get in touch at customercare@sorujewellery.com. Any return postage costs would be subject to charge. Item availability for exchange will depend on the stock we have remaining.

Gemstones
Gemstones should never be worn around hot water, harsh chemicals or cleaners.
You can clean most gemstones with a soft, damp cloth after wearing. Very porous stones such as turquoise and emeralds should be cleaned using an untreated, dry, soft cloth only. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean as they can cause scratching.
