These earrings feature a beautiful mix of gemstones which represent the Bisexual Pride Flag!  This item is available for pre-order and will ship out by Friday, June 27th.

The Bisexual Pride Flag was created in 1998 by Michael Page, riffing on a previous design by artist Liz Nania, who created overlapping pink and blue triangles called biangles, a symbol of bisexuality.  Nania took the pink triangle, which had been used by the Nazi’s in the concentration camps and later became a symbol of gay liberation.  She included a blue triangle to contrast the pink representing heterosexuality and overlapped the two to create lavender, representing bisexuality and referencing the Lavender Menace.

These Bisexual Pride earrings feature lapis, amethyst, and ruby.  I included both smooth and faceted lapis and amethyst gemstones, because it felt so fitting for bisexuals, if you know, you know!  The stones are mixed with handmade Thai silver beads and sterling silver findings.  Read more about the stone meanings below.

Earrings measure 1 ½” including earwire.

Lapis Lazuli is believed to bond relationships of love and friendship, encourage creativity, release stress and bring deep inner peace.  Its deep blue color can often have shimmering specs of pyrite that formed within the stone.  I use lapis that is hand carved in Afghanistan with bold cuts and a matte finish as well as more highly faceted and polished stones hand cut in India.

Amethyst is considered a highly protective and powerful stone with a high spiritual vibration.  Amethyst is often linked with the third eye or 6^th charka and is believed to bring calm to the wearer and opens the door to new understanding and wisdom.  Amethyst is the birthstone of February.

Ruby is believed to be a stone of passion and protection.  It has strong associations with the heart and love, especially with encouraging healing from loss and rebuilding trust in loving relationship.  Ruby gets its name from the Latin word ruber, meaning “red” a nod to it’s deep red color.  Ruby is the birthstone of July.
