Dangle earrings with garnets catch the light with every turn of the head and every glance towards the mirror. The two faceted garnets share an even, deep colour - in daylight they shift towards dark purple, while in the evening they cool to an almost black wine shade. The simple, narrow stud-mounted drop doesn't pull attention away from the stone, keeping the shape light and modern - perfect for short hair or an updo that reveals the line of the neck.

The garnets for this piece were chosen so that the colour and clarity of both stones match, giving each one a calm, uniform sense of depth. Silver and quality coloured stones get more expensive every year, and garnets of this quality are increasingly hard to find at a reasonable price, so this is a purchase that makes sense right now. The setting is made of rhodium-plated refined European 925 silver - the rhodium protects the surface from tarnishing and dulling for years to come, and the piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, attesting the origin of the silver. The pure alloy, free of nickel and other harmful metal additives, lets you wear it without worrying about irritation.

For everyday wear they pair well with a linen shirt open at the neck or a loose-fit cotton sweater - the cool grey and white of these fabrics further bring out the depth of the garnet. With hair swept back, the earrings sit close to the jawline and face, visible from every angle. Their medium size and weight of 2.4 g make them light enough to wear all day, from morning through to an evening out.
