Two faceted sapphires draw a deep, cool tone out of the navy-dark stone, one that shifts in intensity with every turn of the head. The small facets catch the light and break it into brief flashes, so the earrings never look heavy despite the saturated colour. The dangle form and slightly loose, boho line let the stones move with every gesture, bringing life to the neckline and hair.

Each sapphire was examined individually before being set - what mattered was the purity of the colour and how the stone behaves in light. Good stones of this calibre are becoming harder to find, and silver and precious metals keep rising in price, so today's price on these earrings looks reasonable. The setting is refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts for years. The alloy is free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so the earrings can be worn without worrying about irritation. The silver bears a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, confirming the metal's origin.

For everyday looks they pair well with a loose linen shirt, a simple cotton dress or a relaxed sweater in a natural shade - fabrics against which the navy of the sapphire stands out most strongly. Hair pulled back or swept away from the face reveals the neckline and lets the stones move freely. In the evening they work well with a simple dark dress, where the cool blue of the sapphire draws the eye without needing further adornment. These are earrings that combine boho ease with a distinct, colourful accent by the face.
