These dangle earrings with moonstone catch a blue flash of light with the smallest turn of the head. It's the phenomenon of adularescence - light enters the depths of the stone and returns as a cool, blue glow, seen best in natural light. The cabochon cut brings out this depth, while the simple, classic form keeps the focus on the stone rather than distracting from it. The earrings are light and hang freely, so they move with every gesture, revealing the stone from different angles.
Each of the two moonstones was examined individually and chosen for clarity and the strength of its reflection before being paired together. Good stones of this kind are becoming harder to find, and silver prices have been rising for some time, so buying at this price makes sense today. The earrings are made from refined European 925 silver of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium - a metal resistant to scratching that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps the shine lasting for a long time. The alloy contains no nickel, so it does not irritate the skin. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered with the French assay office, which attests the metal's origin. In old jewellery tradition, moonstone was associated with intuition and inner awareness.
This pair pairs well with a romantic style - a lace blouse, a dress in a soft pastel shade, or loose, flowing hair that reveals the line of the neck and ear. The blue flash of the stone contrasts nicely with light, delicate fabric and brings out cool shades of blonde or ashy brown. With a simple, understated outfit, it's the movement and reflection of the stone that draws the eye. At 2.4 grams, the earrings can be worn comfortably all day long.
