These dangle earrings pair the cool shine of silver with the deep, saturated navy of lapis lazuli. Two cabochon-cut stones fall freely along the neckline, moving with every turn of the head and swing of hair. The cabochon doesn't break light into small sparkles - it smooths the stone's surface and lets you catch golden flecks of pyrite scattered through the navy depths. In old jewellery workshops lapis lazuli was linked to idealism and intuition, and its colour was seen as a symbol of harmony.

Only a small share of the sourced material makes it into these earrings - what matters is the depth of colour and the purity of structure in each of the two stones. Silver and good stones keep rising steadily in price, and pieces with this kind of colour are getting harder to find, so buying now makes price sense. The setting is pure, refined sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives - an alloy safe for the skin, with no risk of irritation. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and losing its shine for years to come, and the silver bears the French maker's mark, confirming its origin and European quality of craftsmanship.

For everyday wear, pair them with a loose linen shirt or a simply cut cotton blouse - the classic form of the earrings won't compete with the fabric's texture then. Hair pulled back reveals the neckline and lets the stones move freely with every gesture. The navy of lapis lazuli works well with natural, muted clothing tones - beige, warm grey, ecru. The medium size keeps the earrings light to wear, and at 2.9 g the weight stays almost unnoticeable throughout the day.
