These labradorite earrings bring a cool, modern touch to everyday styling. Two faceted labradorites shimmer with a blue, at times steely glow that appears and fades across the stone's dark surface with every turn of the head. The slender, 4-centimetre dangle and ball form hangs freely at the ear, drawing attention to the line of the neck and pairing well with hair worn smoothly pulled back. In old jewellery tradition, labradorite was linked to calm thinking and self-confidence - today the stone simply catches the eye with its cool, minimalist beauty.

For this pair we chose stones with an especially pure, deep colour - that was the deciding factor, not the size of the stone. Silver and quality labradorite get more expensive year by year, so earrings of this price and quality are a sound choice right now. The setting is rhodium-plated sterling silver 925 from European refining - the rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine intact for years. The alloy is nickel-free, sparing you the irritation nickel can cause, so the earrings can be worn with peace of mind. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which establishes the metal's origin and is registered with the assay office.

Day to day, they look good with a soft, chunky knit sweater in shades of grey or charcoal - the stone's blue glint brings life to a muted, monochrome look. They also work well with a simple turtleneck and loose hair, when the earrings are meant to be the only feature near the face. Their light construction and weight of 3.5 grams mean they can be worn comfortably all day, from a morning outing to an evening event.
