the deep purple of two faceted rubies opens up with every turn of the head - the facets catch the light and throw it back in short flashes as your hair shifts away from the neckline. the dangle form of these boho-inspired earrings keeps things light, while the metal, drawn into slim posts, never competes with the stone for attention. a ruby with this saturated a colour and this clarity is easy to overlook among a wider selection, and finding a second stone to match it later is no easy task.

silver and gemstones keep rising in price, so earrings of this quality and at this price make sense today. refined European silver 925 forms a pure alloy free of nickel and other sensitising additives, which matters for the sensitive skin around the ears. a rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and blackening, keeping the shine bright and clear for years. the piece is signed with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, which attests the origin of the metal.

these earrings pair well with a loose linen shirt left open at the neck or a simply cut cotton blouse - the natural weave and relaxed, boho-inspired cut sit well against the intensity of the ruby. hair gathered into a loose bun or worn down with a parting reveals the neckline and lets the stones move freely with every turn of the head. they also work well with an earthy-toned linen dress, where the cool grey of the accessories only brings out the warmth of the ruby's colour. the medium size of the earrings makes them easy to wear all day, and in the evening they look just as good with a simpler, swept-up hairstyle.
