Cool and striking, this stud earring in a classic form sets two cabochon-cut labradorites. Against the stone's dark background a blue, sometimes steely flash appears - clearly visible when the head moves or light falls at a different angle. The small silhouette of the stud doesn't draw attention away from this play of light, and near the ear and neckline it becomes even more noticeable. Labradorite was once associated with calm of mind, inspiration and self-confidence - symbolism worth knowing when choosing a gift.

Only carefully selected labradorites are paired together - most of the raw material is rejected before it ever reaches the setting, so the earrings end up with a clean, deep-coloured stone at a price that matches its quality. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year after year, so buying a pair like this today makes sense price-wise. The setting is refined sterling silver 925 of European quality, additionally rhodium-plated - the rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, so the shine doesn't dull despite everyday wear. The silver bears the French maker's mark, registered with the assay office, which attests to the metal's origin.

These earrings feel right for family occasions - a festive dinner, a christening or a wedding, where warm light and classic elegance matter. Hair worn up reveals the ear and lets labradorite's blue flash draw the eye near the face. Paired with an elegant dress in a deep navy or bottle green, they add a cool counterpoint, while with a light, pearl-toned styling they build a distinct yet understated accent. At 2.0 g, they wear lightly all evening long.
