Two faceted moonstones play with a blue flash as light catches them at an angle - a subtle adularescence drifts across the surface like a thin glow. These dangle and drop earrings have a clean, minimal line that doesn't compete with the effect: the form steps back, and all attention stays with the stone. That character is close to the contemporary French approach to jewellery - nothing superfluous, only what you can actually see.

Both stones were matched so that the colour and intensity of the flash are even - the result of careful selection, not chance. Good moonstones are becoming increasingly rare, which makes the price all the more welcome. They are set in refined sterling silver 925, pure and free from nickel and harmful additives - the alloy does not cause allergic reactions or irritate the skin. The rhodium coating the surface is hard and scratch-resistant, which translates into a lasting, bright shine. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark - a legally protected stamp registered at the French assay office.

The earrings work beautifully with a romantic style: worn with a lace blouse or a dress in a pastel blue shade, the blue flash of the stone brings the whole look to life. The delicate patterns of the fabric and the cool glow of the stone together create a coherent mood. With light hair or hair pinned up in a bun, the flash is especially visible - the stone draws the eye along the line of the neck.
