The deep, matte-glowing black of onyx gives these earrings a distinctly retro character. Two cabochons set in a dangle form sway at the slightest turn of the head, and light slips across their smooth surface in short, cool flashes. This shape sits well against the neckline and hair, drawing the eye upward toward the face. Onyx has long been associated with strength, resilience and confidence - qualities that suit the earrings' bold, simple silhouette well.

Each of the two onyx stones is chosen for its deep, even black free of discoloration, which at a reasonable price delivers a result close to far pricier pieces. Silver and good stones are getting more expensive, so buying at this price today makes practical sense. The earrings are made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, and a rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts long without extra care. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the metal. A pure alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives ensures comfort for sensitive skin.

In the city they look good with a simple white shirt and classic jeans, while a leather jacket adds a touch of edge. Hair tied back in a bun or tucked behind the ear reveals the dangle form and lets the black of the onyx fully catch the light near the face. These are medium-sized earrings, so they wear light, and their weight of 3.3 grams stays practically unnoticeable throughout the day.
