The intense, grassy green of peridot catches the eye at first glance. The faceted cut breaks light into fine flashes, and with every turn of the head the stone's colour shifts between a warm olive and a deep, vivid green. These dangle and drop earrings have a clean, compact form that stays true to contemporary minimalist aesthetics - no unnecessary ornament, all attention resting on the stone.

Fine peridots of this colour saturation are becoming increasingly rare, and each of the two stones was selected individually for depth of colour and clarity - specimens that are genuinely difficult to match as a pair without careful selection. Refined European sterling silver 925 provides a pure, bright setting for them; an alloy free from harmful metal impurities does not irritate the skin. Rhodium deposited on the surface protects the silver against tarnishing and maintains its shine for years. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark attesting its origin, registered with the French assay office.

These earrings pair beautifully with a romantic style - worn with a lace blouse in a cream shade, the green of the peridot brings life to the whole face and accentuates the line of the neck. They also work well with a dress in a delicate floral print in pastels, where their understated silhouette does not overwhelm the light fabric. Against soft, pale colours, these two stones draw the eye directly to the face.
