Two black onyx cabochons hang freely right along the jawline, swaying gently with every turn of the head. The stone's deep, matte black draws the eye without any glossy shine, and its smooth, cabochon surface contrasts with the openwork, boho form of the silver setting. Onyx has long been associated with strength, endurance and confidence - an association, not a promise, but one that suits earrings with such a distinct character. At 3 centimetres long, the shape reads clearly without feeling heavy - the earrings weigh just 4.4 grams and wear comfortably all day long.

Onyx like this - even in colour, free of streaks and discolouration - is easy to overlook among random stones, yet hard to match once found. It's set in refined sterling silver 925, a pure alloy free of nickel and other allergy-triggering additives, gentle even on sensitive skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, attesting to the origin of the metal. Silver and good stones keep rising in price, so buying at this price today already makes sense.

Black onyx plays beautifully off bright spring outfits through contrast. A pastel trench coat, a silk scarf tied at the neck and a light-coloured bag all make a backdrop against which the dark cabochons at the ears stand out the most. Hair pulled into a ponytail or tucked behind the ear further reveals the neckline and lets the earrings move freely. This is a composition made for women who look for meaning in boho, not randomness - earrings with two onyx stones bring that out in a natural, effortless way.
