These vintage-inspired dangle earrings feature two cabochon-cut turquoise stones, their smooth, domed surface catching the light and drawing it to a single point. The smooth cut doesn't scatter the colour into small facets, so the turquoise shows the full depth of its colour without any breaks. A delicate post and a slender, drop shape let the earrings sway with every movement of the head, brushing against the neckline and bare nape.

Both turquoise stones come from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona and were matched so that their blue tone is consistent across both earrings, with no visible differences on closer inspection. Silver and quality stones get more expensive year by year, and turquoise of this quality is becoming harder to find, so buying this pair now makes sense price-wise. At this price you get both a careful match of the turquoise colour and a solidly made setting. Refined European silver 925 is coated with a layer of rhodium, which protects the surface from tarnishing and helps keep the shine for longer. The maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office, attests to the metal's origin.

Styled for the city, these earrings work well with plain jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket - the turquoise blue lifts the outfit without being overstated. They also come into their own with hair tied back, when the neckline and ears are bare and the earrings can swing freely. Their medium size and weight of 2.2 grams mean they can be worn all day without tiring the earlobe.
