Dangle earrings with two turquoise stones catch the eye the moment you turn your head. The modern, lightweight stud design lets the stones fall freely along the jawline, and with every movement of your hair the turquoise reveals itself anew, showing off its cool, saturated blue. Before being set, every turquoise was assessed for colour uniformity and surface purity - in this pair the colour is even, with no discolouration or shadowing. The stones come from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, known for a turquoise variety with an exceptionally calm, uniform blue.

The prices of silver and good coloured stones rise year after year, and turquoise of this quality is becoming harder to find, so this set makes real price sense today. The setting is made of refined sterling silver 925 of European quality, and a rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratching, so the metal keeps its shine for years. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for allergic reactions, so the earrings can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the assay office in France, confirming its origin.

These earrings feel right in an everyday urban outfit - with simple jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket, the turquoise blue brightens the face and highlights the neckline, especially with hair tied back or pinned up. Loose hair lets the stones appear and disappear in motion, which works well with simple, sleek hairstyles. The medium size means the earrings wear lightly, and the blue turquoise remains the focal point of the whole look.
