These stud earrings with two labradorites play with a cool, blue flash that emerges from the dark, almost black background of the stone. Before it goes into its setting, each labradorite is examined at different angles of light - only then does it become clear whether the steely sheen spreads evenly across the whole surface. The cabochon cut further smooths out this play of light, and the very small size of the studs keeps the form calm and minimalist, closer to the ear than to the eye. These are earrings that don't shout - they work up close, right by the face.

For the setting we choose stones where the blue flash is most pronounced and the clarity and purity of colour are high - good labradorites are becoming harder to find, and silver has risen in price in recent years, so buying this piece today makes sense from a price standpoint. They are set in refined silver 925 of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium - this metal is hard and scratch-resistant, so the shine doesn't fade after months of wear. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark - a guarantee of the quality and origin of the precious metal. In old beliefs, labradorite was seen as a symbol of calm thought and self-confidence, which makes it a fitting choice for a gift with a personal touch.

These earrings feel at home in city styling - with a trench coat and a roll-neck in cool grey, or a charcoal jumper with a simple collar. Hair tied back in a ponytail or pinned up reveals the neckline and ear, so the blue flash of the stone immediately draws the eye at a meeting or on a walk through the city. A neutral outfit palette - beige, grey, black - lets the labradorite shine best. At 1.5 g they stay light for all-day wear, and the minimalist form suits an office shirt just as well as an evening occasion.
