Delicate dangle and drop earrings in a teardrop form open up a modern, light line - well suited to a bare neck and hair worn up. Two moonstones set in a cabochon cut catch the light with every turn of the head: the surface seems to hold a blue flash within it, one that shifts and fades depending on the angle you view it from. This phenomenon, known as adularescence, has long been associated with intuition and inner awareness, and in the work of old-time jewellers moonstone found its way into pieces of a personal, meditative character. The teardrop stays simple in outline, so all attention rests on the stone itself.

We select each moonstone individually, examining it under light to make sure the reflection is clear and pure, with no clouding. Good stones of this kind are increasingly hard to find today, and the price of silver and precious metals keeps rising steadily, so buying at this price makes sense now. The setting is rhodium-plated silver - the rhodium coating is hard and resistant to scratching, so the shine does not fade over time and the metal does not tarnish. The base is refined European silver, sterling silver 925, pure and nickel-free, which matters for skin sensitivity around the ears. The silver, stamped with the French maker's mark, confirms the origin of the metal.

These earrings pair well with a romantic look: a lace blouse, a dress in a small print, or a soft sweater in a powder shade. Hair gathered into a low bun or loosely plaited braids reveal the line of the neck and let the stone's blue flash draw the eye. The medium size and weight of 5.6 g keep the earrings light on the ear, letting the teardrop move freely with every turn of the head.
