Dark and deep, the labradorite in these earrings shimmers with a blue, sometimes steel-toned glow that surfaces only when the head moves. The cabochon cut lets light enter beneath the stone's surface and re-emerge in an unexpected spot - jewellers call this effect labradorescence. The dangle form, 3 cm long, brings a relaxed, boho character and sways gently with every movement, bringing life to the neckline and hair. In the past this stone was associated with peace of mind and self-confidence, treated as a symbol of inner balance.

Each of the two labradorites was examined individually and chosen for the intensity of its blue flash, because only a vivid play of light captures the character of this stone. Good labradorites are rising in price, and finding them in this quality gets harder every year - a natural rarity, not a matter of trend. Even so, the price of these earrings stays reasonable, and neither the quality of the stone nor the craftsmanship is compromised. The setting is refined European silver 925, a pure alloy free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so the earrings can be worn without concerns about irritation. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark - a legally protected stamp registered with the assay office in France, which attests to the metal's origin.

These earrings suit weekend, layered looks well: an oversized sweater in a sandy shade, a wrap or a scarf in calm, earthy tones. Loose, slightly wavy hair reveals them only partly, which further highlights the stone's movement with every turn of the head. The blue flash of the labradorite pairs well with cool grey and beige, but it also holds its own against dark, autumnal colours. The medium size means the earrings can be worn comfortably from morning to evening.
