These stud earrings combine a minimalist form with the warm colour of rose quartz. The two cabochon-cut rose quartz stones have a rich, powdery hue with a delicate pink shimmer that's visible up close, near the face and along the neckline. The simple, smooth setting doesn't draw attention away from the stone, keeping the whole piece light and understated in form, ideal with a short haircut or tied-back hair, where the ear and neck are exposed.

Each quartz is chosen for its colour and clarity - stones with a too-pale or cloudy tone are rejected from the start, leaving only those with a clear, even pink. Prices for silver and good coloured stones rise year after year, so buying earrings like these now, at a reasonable price, makes sense. The setting is made of refined European sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other harmful additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. A layer of rhodium protects the silver from tarnishing and dulling, so the shine lasts long despite everyday wear. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which indicates the origin of the silver. Rose quartz has long been associated with tenderness and harmonious relationships, making these earrings a fitting gift idea.

For everyday wear, they pair well with a linen shirt in natural beige or a loose cotton blouse - the pink tone of the stone warms up a simple outfit without excess. They also work well with loose hair parted to reveal one ear, where the cabochon stays at the centre of attention. Their small size and weight of 1.8 grams mean they can be worn comfortably from morning to evening, whatever the occasion.
