Vintage Smithsonian Institution Lapis Lazuli Sterling Necklace and Earrings

This GORGEOUS set was sold by the Smithsonian Institution and is still in it's box with information card. Made of sterling silver with gold toning (marked 925 on each piece), it was made in Chile- also stamped on the clasp of the necklace. Stunning set with real Lapis Lazuli, a prized semi-precious stone with a gorgeous blue color. I'm sort-of hoping this one doesn't sell so that I can keep it! The necklace measures 16" long and the earrings are about 1-1/8" tall and 5/8" at their widest. In very good condition, with some discoloration to some of the metal in between the links.
