These minimalist stud earrings draw the eye with two cabochon-cut labradorites. Against the stone's dark, almost graphite background a cool blue flash appears - with every turn of the head it shifts in intensity, sometimes softer, sometimes closer to a steely glow. This phenomenon, known as labradorescence, plays with light without changing the stone's character - it stays dark and deep. In old beliefs labradorite was linked to peace of mind and self-confidence, treated as a stone of inspiration.

Only labradorites with a strong, even colour and a clean structure make it into these earrings - it's these qualities that decide which stone deserves a setting. Good stones of this quality are getting more expensive along with silver, so buying now already makes price sense. The setting is refined European silver 925, and the rhodium layer on its surface is hard and scratch-resistant, so the shine doesn't fade after a few wears. The alloy contains no nickel or other allergenic additives, so ears can wear it without worrying about irritation. The metal is stamped with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, confirming its origin.

Small studs show best against a face left free of hair - an updone bun or a simple hairstyle tucked behind the ears lets that blue flash be seen up close. In a total-black look, with a black turtleneck or a smooth blouse, it's the labradorite that leads the eye, contrasting against the dark fabric with its cool flash. They also work well for everyday wear, under a coat or a sweater in shades of grey, where they subtly complete the whole look.
