These vintage-style dangle earrings set two cabochon-cut labradorites close to the face. Against the stone's dark background, a blue, occasionally steely flash appears - the characteristic labradorescence that reveals itself with the slightest turn of the head. The elongated, slightly archaised form falls freely, so every gesture catches glimmers of light on the stone's surface. This is discreet jewelry that moves with the hair and the line of the neck.

Both labradorites were matched for colour and intensity of flash, so the pair looks cohesive even though each stone has its own individual pattern. Good labradorites are increasingly hard to source today, and silver prices are rising, so choosing this pair makes sense from a pricing standpoint right now. The setting is made of pure, refined sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal that protects the surface against blackening and dulling, keeping the shine noticeably lasting. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for most allergic reactions, so the earrings can be worn without worrying about irritation. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the silver. In jewellery tradition, labradorite has been associated with peace of mind, inspiration and self-confidence.

For everyday wear, they pair well with a linen shirt in a natural shade or a loose cotton sweater - a simple cut of clothing gives room to the stone's blue flash. Hair pinned up or swept back reveals the neckline and lets the dangling form of the earrings be fully appreciated. In the evening, they work well with a smooth, dark blouse, where the labradorite catches the eye more effectively than against patterned fabrics. A weight of 2.8 grams keeps them light to wear all day long.
