These modern dangle earrings pair a clean, geometric line with the deep red of garnet. Four faceted garnets catch the light in their tiny facets, their colour recalling a rich wine swirling in a glass. The light, elongated form moves with every turn of the head and naturally draws the eye along the neckline, showing off hair worn up or swept back.

Each garnet was inspected individually and chosen for the depth of its colour and the clarity of its interior, so for a modest price you get a stone of exceptional quality. Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, and stones of this clarity are becoming harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense today. The earrings are made from refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so you reach for the polishing cloth less often. The alloy contains no nickel or other metals known to cause irritation, so the earrings can be worn without worry. The French maker's mark on the metal is a guarantee of the silver's quality and origin.

These earrings suit relaxed weekend looks: under a loose, oversized sweater in ecru, with a scarf in muted grey or beige draped over the shoulders. The deep red of the garnet brings such a subdued base to life without overpowering it. They also work well with a simple braid or hair pinned up, when the neckline is left bare. Their light weight, 2.8 grams, means they can be worn comfortably all day long.
