These stud earrings with moonstone pair a minimalist form with a subtle glow that lights up the face with every turn of the head. The faceted cut divides the stone's surface into tiny planes, across which a cool, blue sheen drifts - adularescence most visible in side light, when hair falls away from the neckline and earlobes. Craftsmen of the past linked moonstone with intuition and inner focus, treating it as a symbol of quiet awareness. The small stud form doesn't overwhelm the features, and the two moonstones work as a matched pair of delicate points of light.

This pair brings together two moonstones selected for clarity and depth of sheen, free of the cloudiness that would dull their beauty. Good stones of this quality are becoming harder to find, and the prices of silver and gemstones rise year after year, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The setting is refined silver of European sterling 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects against tarnishing and scratches - meaning these earrings need little polishing and keep their shine for a long time. The French maker's mark struck on the piece attests to the origin of the metal.

Light and barely noticeable in everyday wear, these earrings sit well with simple, urban outfits. They suit a white shirt buttoned to the collar and a leather jacket thrown over jeans, when hair pulled into a ponytail reveals the ear and lets the stone's sheen catch the eye. They also work well with hair worn down - all it takes is a strand parting to reveal one earring for that cool blue to stand out against the face. At 1.6 grams, they can be worn all day without tiring the earlobe.
