These very small stud earrings pair a raw, minimalist form with a stone whose shimmer is restless and ever-changing. A small faceted surface catches the light with every turn of the head, throwing back a blue, at times steely reflection against the stone's dark background. It's a subtle accent right by the face - close to the jawline, hair and neck - that doesn't overwhelm but simply brings the gaze to life. In old beliefs, labradorite was linked to clarity of thought and inner confidence. That symbolism works well as an accompanying thought behind a gift.

We hand-picked the two labradorites in these earrings, because stones with such a clear, blue reflection are rare and easy to overlook. Silver prices are rising, and good stones are getting more expensive along with it, so buying at this price today makes sense. The setting is refined European silver, sterling silver 925, a pure alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. A rhodium layer protects the surface from scratches and loss of shine for years to come. The French maker's mark struck on the piece is registered with the assay office in France and attests to the origin of the metal.

At a weight of 0.6 grams, the earrings wear practically unnoticed, which makes them ideal for an evening out, when you want one striking detail instead of several accessories. A little black dress or a silk blouse with an open neckline is a natural backdrop for this cool, blue flash. Hair pulled back into a bun reveals the ears and lets you fully appreciate the play of light on the facets. It's a simple way to give an evening look an interesting, dark accent without unnecessary excess.
