These dangle earrings in rhodium-plated 925 silver catch the eye with a clean, geometric line and the quiet blue of turquoise. Four cabochon turquoise stones show a saturated, uniform colour with no green flashes, a shade owed to their origin in the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, prized among the world's finest sources of this stone. The form stays narrow and light, so the earrings sit close to the earlobe without weighing it down or breaking up the line of the face.

Each of the four turquoise stones was inspected and selected individually, so the colour stays consistent across the set. The sterling silver 925, extracted and refined in Europe, is coated with a layer of rhodium, a hard metal that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine for a long time. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for skin reactions, so the earrings can be worn without worrying about a reaction. Silver and good turquoise are steadily rising in price, and stones with such a uniform colour are becoming harder to find, which makes this a sound purchase today. The piece is stamped with the maker's mark, registered with the French assay office, attesting to the origin of the metal.

These earrings work well in office styling: paired with a plain shirt and a jacket in a muted colour, the blue of the turquoise becomes the outfit's one clear colour accent. Hair pulled back or tucked behind the ear reveals the line of the neck and lets the dangling form of the earrings show fully. Their modern, minimalist character means they suit a simple sweater just as well as an elegant blouse buttoned to the neck.
