Dangle earrings in rhodium-plated 925 silver bring a vintage touch to any look, along with a calm, muted shimmer. Two cabochon-cut labradorites shimmer against a dark navy background, flashing with a steely reflection that appears and vanishes with every turn of the head. Craftsmen of the past linked this stone with calm thinking and self-confidence - today it is simply an association that pairs well with the earring's clean, elongated form. Both labradorites were matched so that their colour and the intensity of their reflection are balanced, so the pair reads as a coherent whole rather than a random pairing.

Silver and good coloured stones are steadily rising in price, so a well-selected labradorite at this price is a sensible purchase today. The earrings are made of pure, refined European silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal that protects the surface from tarnishing, dulling and fine scratches, so the shine lasts long without extra care. The alloy contains no nickel or other metals known to cause allergic reactions, so the earrings can be worn without worry of skin irritation near the ear. The metal is stamped with the maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered with the French assay office, which attests to the origin of the piece.

The elongated, dangling form works well with a bared neck and hair pulled back - it deserves to be shown off, not hidden under loose strands. For a day out in the city, it pairs well with a trench coat, a cool grey turtleneck and simple trousers - the blue flash of the labradorite brings life to a muted, neutral palette without needing extra accessories. With short hair or hair worn up, the earrings gain extra space and the play of light in the stone becomes easier to see. It's a good choice for the colder months, when greys, navy and broken white dominate.
