The delicate pink of quartz in these earrings doesn't shout, it simply plays with light at the slightest turn of the head. The two rose quartz stones, cut as cabochons, have a warm, powdery hue with a faint shimmer deep within the stone - it was precisely this purity of colour and clarity that determined the choice of these particular gems. The minimalist form of the studs lets the stone stay in the spotlight, and the simple setting line doesn't draw attention away from its colour. Rose quartz has long been associated with love and tenderness, and is also seen as a symbol of harmonious relationships.

This choice also makes sense price-wise - silver and good stones have been steadily rising in price in recent years, so it's worth getting them now. The earrings are made of refined sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the metal's shine lasts for a long time. The alloy contains no nickel, so wearing the studs doesn't cause allergies or skin irritation. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark - a guarantee of quality and origin of the precious metal, and the European quality of craftsmanship is visible in every detail of the setting.

These studs feel best close to the face in relaxed summer looks - with loose hair, a flowing linen dress in light beige, or a simple cotton blouse. The pink of the quartz nicely brightens up the complexion and hair in warm blonde or brown tones, drawing the eye to where the light falls - around the neck and cheeks. Their small size and weight of 1.6 grams make them light to wear all day long, from morning through to an evening out in the city.
