The soft pink of the quartz in these earrings shifts tone with every turn of the head - sometimes lighter, sometimes deepening into a warmer hue as light catches the cabochon cut differently. The dangle, modern shape sits close to the face and highlights the line of the neck, without overwhelming the silhouette whether hair is worn up or down. Rose quartz has long been associated with tenderness and harmonious relationships, which makes these earrings a popular gift, though they work just as well as another addition to your own jewellery box.

Only a small share of the raw material examined makes it into a pair - what matters is clarity and an even, warm colour, so at a reasonable price you get a stone of a clearly higher grade. Fine metal silver and quality stones get more expensive year on year, so buying at this price already makes sense today. The setting is refined silver 925 of European quality, additionally coated with a layer of rhodium - thanks to which the metal keeps its shine for a long time and needs cleaning less often. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal.

At the office, they pair well with a smooth shirt and a blazer in muted, work-appropriate colours - beige, grey or navy show off the stone's warm pink best. Hair pulled into a bun or a sleek ponytail reveals the line of the neck and lets you fully appreciate the gentle movement of the cabochons with every turn of the head. It's the rose quartz that draws the eye here, leaving the rest of the outfit in the background. At 4.0 g, the earrings sit lightly and don't weigh down the earlobe even after a full day of wear.
