These moonstone stud earrings bring a calm, cool shimmer to any look. The two cabochon-cut moonstones have a pale, slightly grey background across which a distinct blue flash moves as the head turns - this effect, known as adularescence, shows best in natural light, close to the face and hair. The stud's form is simple and small, with no superfluous elements, so the stone remains the one point that holds the eye. Craftsmen have long associated moonstone with intuition and inner calm, which suits this minimalist character well.

The choice of this particular stone came down to colour and clarity - only pieces with a clear, even reflection make it into this collection, yet the price remains accessible. Fine-quality stones of real value are not growing more plentiful, since nature itself limits their supply, and at the same time silver and other precious metals are steadily rising in price. The setting is pure, refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives - it is this fineness that confirms the purity of the alloy, so the skin never comes into contact with anything irritating. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine of the studs holds up well despite everyday wear. The maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office, attests to the origin of the metal.

These earrings work best in the evening, when the hair is worn up and the neckline is exposed. A little black dress or a silk blouse in a muted colour make the best backdrop - the moonstone's blue flash then draws all the attention without need for further adornment. With soft makeup and a simple hairstyle, the earrings are enough on their own, without a necklace or bracelet. At 3.5 g, they wear light through a whole evening, and their minimalist form suits a tailored blazer just as well as a satin gown.
