Two faceted-cut emeralds sit in very small studs that rest right at the earlobe. The green of the stone shifts in intensity with every movement of the head - deepening toward bottle green one moment, catching light and brightening the next. The form is spare, with no unnecessary detail, so all the attention stays on the colour of the stone. This is a minimalism that pairs well with a bare neck and a simple hairstyle.

Only a small share of the graded raw material makes it into these earrings - what matters is the clarity and depth of the green, and the rest is set aside during selection. The price of silver and of good coloured stones keeps rising, so a selection this careful at this price makes sense today. For this price you get a carefully chosen emerald and a precisely finished setting, a combination rarely found at a low price. The studs are made of rhodium silver: refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium - the metal does not tarnish, does not dull and keeps its bright shine for years. The alloy contains no nickel or other irritating additives, so you can wear them without worrying about skin irritation. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark, registered at the assay office, which attests to the origin of the metal.

These earrings fit easily into relaxed, weekend styling. An oversized sweater in oatmeal or grey, a loose scarf draped over the shoulders and hair pinned up with the neck bare - in that kind of outfit, the faceted green stone naturally draws the eye. They also work well with a simple shirt and loose hair, where they catch the light gently with every turn of the head. Their small size means they wear light, with barely any noticeable weight.
