Vintage in shape and deep in gaze, these dangle earrings pair a hanging silhouette with two labradorite cabochons, set in enameled silver. Against the stone's dark background a blue, occasionally steely reflection appears - as you turn your head it drifts like a narrow streak of light, vanishes and returns with another movement. This phenomenon, known as labradorescence, is best seen precisely in this hanging form, close to the face and hair, where every tilt of the head reveals a different shade. A length of 3.0 cm lets the earrings brush gently against the neckline without weighing down the ear.

Each of the two labradorites is assessed for depth and clarity of colour before it goes into the setting - hence the exceptional stone quality at a reasonable price. Silver and good stones get more expensive year on year, so buying at this price makes practical sense today. The setting is made of refined European 925 silver of high alloy purity, free of nickel and other sensitising additives - which is exactly where the comfort for sensitive skin comes from. Hand-applied enamel adds depth to the earrings, and the silver stamped with the French maker's mark confirms the metal's origin. In traditional craftsmanship labradorite was associated with calm thinking and self-confidence - to this day it can be seen as a symbol of inner balance.

In spring these earrings pair well with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf tied at the neck - the light background of the outfit sets off the stone's blue reflection. Hair gathered into a loose bun or tucked behind the ears reveals the full length of the form and the play of light on the labradorite. With a light-coloured bag and simple, light-toned accessories, the earrings bring a cool accent of colour, firmly rooted in a vintage mood.
