A rich, deep blue radiates from the two turquoise stones in these earrings, catching the eye at first glance. The cabochon cut shows off the smooth, even surface of the stone, letting light spread softly across it without any harsh glare. The dangle design, 3 centimetres long, sways with every turn of the head, brushing against the neckline and hair - a gesture of lightness and ease typical of boho style, far removed from the rigid symmetry of classic studs.

The turquoise comes from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, regarded as a source of some of the most prized stones of this kind in the world. Such a uniform, deep colour free of discolouration is rare - a second piece with such a consistent shade is easy to miss. Silver and good coloured stones are steadily rising in price, and turquoise of this quality is becoming harder to find, so today's price for these earrings looks reasonable. The setting is refined European silver 925 - a pure alloy free of nickel and other irritating additives, gentle even on sensitive skin. They are stamped with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, attesting to the metal's origin.

For a family celebration, these earrings pair well with an elegant dress in dark green or burgundy - the blue of the turquoise brings such muted, deep colours to life in warm room lighting. Hair pulled back or tucked behind the ears reveals the neckline and lets the stones sway freely. A delicate bracelet or a thin ring in the same silver is all you need to complete the look - the rest of the attention stays on the turquoise.
