These stud earrings pair a clean, minimalist form with the depth of a violet that shifts shade with every turn of the head. Two faceted amethysts catch the light differently from every angle - the facets scatter it into cool flashes and warmer purple tones, creating a subtle interplay without any ostentation. This calm, measured character of the stone has long been associated in jewellery tradition with focus and clarity of mind.

Only a portion of carefully reviewed raw material makes it into the finished piece - two amethysts matched for colour and transparency, whose quality at this price point is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve. The core of the earrings is refined European sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of 18-carat gold at a minimum thickness of 5 microns. It is the gold that touches the skin, and the alloy free from allergenic metal additives means the earrings can be worn without concern about irritation. Compliance with the vermeil standard is confirmed by the stamped V mark. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark.

In spring, the earrings pair beautifully with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf in muted tones - the amethyst's violet enlivens light, creamy shades without overpowering the overall look. With the neck exposed and hair pinned up, the stone's facets draw the eye along the jawline. A light-coloured bag and minimalist wrist jewellery complete the outfit in the spirit of effortless French elegance.
