These dangle earrings pair a rhodium silver setting with two cabochon-cut moonstones. The form is vintage, slender and slightly elongated, falling loosely along the jawline and bared neck, which makes it work well with hair worn up. When light catches it at the right angle, a cool blue flash appears on the stone's surface - adularescence that shifts with every movement of the head and gives the earrings depth. In old beliefs, moonstone was linked to intuition and inner awareness, which makes it a popular symbol to give as a gift today.

Each moonstone is assessed before it is set, checked for clarity and the strength of its flash, so only stones with a clear play of light make it to sale. Silver and good natural stones are steadily rising in price, so buying at today's price makes sense. The setting is made of refined European silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, meaning the earrings need less everyday care. The alloy contains no nickel or other metals known to cause allergic reactions, so wearing them does not irritate the skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which establishes the metal's origin and is registered with the assay office, confirming the quality of the European craftsmanship.

For an evening out, they work well with a little black silk dress - the simple cut of the outfit leaves room for the stone, which catches the eye with every turn of the head. Hair swept into a bun or a sleek braid reveals the line of the neck and ears, letting the dangle form show fully. For makeup, a cool-toned lipstick is enough to match the stone's blue flash. Weighing 3.5 g, the earrings sit lightly on the ear all evening long.
