These moonstone stud earrings bring a calm, cool sparkle to a classic look. Two cabochon-cut moonstones are set centrally, surrounded by thirty-two small cubic zirconia stones that catch the light with every turn of the head. As the face turns towards the light, a characteristic blue flash appears on the stone's surface, known as adularescence - an effect that shifts with every angle of view. In old beliefs, moonstone was associated with intuition and inner focus; today it is prized above all for this delicate, shifting glow.

For this piece we chose stones of exceptional clarity and a deep, even sheen - it was precisely this colour and transparency that determined their selection, while keeping the price sensible. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so buying at this price makes sense today. The earrings are made of refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium - a hard metal resistant to scratching, which keeps the shine from dulling over time. The 925 fineness confirms the purity of this alloy, and the silver is stamped with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, attesting to the metal's origin.

The stud form means the earrings sit close to the earlobe and pair well with an exposed neckline, especially with hair swept up. For office wear, they work well with a smooth shirt and a classic blazer in a muted shade of grey or navy - the moonstone's blue flash then draws the eye without overwhelming the overall look. Their medium size and weight of 5.1 grams make them comfortable to wear from morning to evening without any sense of heaviness. It's a piece that fits well into classic French chic - a simple cut, a striking detail.
