These vintage-style dangle earrings catch the eye with the blue shimmer of moonstone. Two moonstones are set in a cabochon cut, which brings out that characteristic, shifting glow on the surface of the stone while keeping any internal flaws out of sight. The delicate, slender silhouette measuring 3.0 cm falls freely along the neckline and pairs well with hair worn down or styled up in a way that leaves the ears uncovered. Moonstone has long been associated with intuition and inner calm, though in this design it's the optical play of light that takes centre stage.

Both stones in this pair are matched for even colour and similar intensity of shimmer, something only apparent on close comparison. Such matching takes time, and good-quality moonstones are becoming harder to find, much like silver, whose price rises steadily. That's exactly why this set feels like a sensible choice at its current price. The earrings are made of pure, refined 925 sterling silver, extracted and refined in Europe, free of nickel and other irritant additives, which matters for sensitive skin around the ears. A rhodium coating protects the surface against tarnishing and loss of shine for years to come. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the metal's origin.

They come into their own against an all-black look: a black turtleneck or a simple top with an open neckline creates a muted backdrop against which the blue shimmer of the moonstone becomes the main focal point. Hair tied back in a ponytail or gathered into a loose knot reveals the line of the ear and lets the dangling shape be fully appreciated. At 6.6 g, the weight remains almost unnoticeable when worn all day, despite the earrings' clearly defined, eye-catching silhouette.
