Bold and free-spirited, these boho-inspired earrings bring a touch of raw, dark shine to any look. Two faceted black onyx stones catch the light in tiny flashes across their facets - with every turn of the head a new glint appears, and the deep black takes on an almost graphite hue. The shape stays light and dangling, so the earrings move freely along the neckline without weighing down the ear. In traditional jewellery craft, onyx was linked to strength, resilience and self-confidence - an association that sits well with bold, contemporary jewellery.

Only a small portion of the sorted raw material makes it into production - what matters is a deep, uniform black free of discolouration, which is why the final onyx offers exceptional quality at a reasonable price. Silver and quality stone prices have long been rising, and stones of this calibre are becoming harder to find, so this purchase makes sense price-wise today. The setting is refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity - free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine clean and bright for years to come. The French maker's mark visible on the piece attests to the silver's origin.

A light, flowing linen dress in pale beige or ecru makes a natural backdrop for this black - the onyx draws the eye while the rest of the outfit stays understated. Hair gathered in a loose bun or tucked behind the ears reveals the neckline and lets the earrings move freely. They also look great with a simple shirt with rolled-up sleeves, where the dark stone contrasts against the light fabric. The medium size makes the earrings feel light to wear, and their weight - 2.1 grams - stays practically unnoticeable all day long.
