The black onyx in these earrings has a smooth, deep surface that catches the light in short, distinct flashes whenever you turn your head. Two cabochon-cut onyx stones are set in a simple, minimalist stud form that keeps the focus on the stone itself. The dark colour of onyx has long been linked with strength, endurance and self-assurance - craftsmen of the past prized it precisely for this understated, powerful presence. It is a modest detail in form but a striking one in character, worn close to the face.

Each of the two onyx stones was inspected and selected for a deep, even black without streaks or discolouration, which is why the stone's high quality comes at a price that remains reasonable. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, so it is worth making this purchase today. The earrings are made of refined European 925 silver plated with a layer of rhodium - this hard metal protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts long. A pure alloy free of nickel and other sensitising additives means even sensitive skin can wear them without irritation. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal, and the European quality of the workmanship is visible in every detail of the stone setting.

These earrings sit well with romantic looks - a lace blouse in powder pink, a summer dress with a delicate floral print, or a simple sweater in a pastel shade. Hair gathered into a low bun or braided to one side reveals the ear and the line of the neck, where the onyx draws the eye with its strong contrast against light-coloured tones of the outfit. It is a discreet yet decisive accent for everyday, feminine styling.
