Faceted rose quartz in these earrings plays with a soft pink glow that shifts in intensity with every turn of the head. The two rose quartz stones are matched so their colour and clarity are equal, so in the ear the stones read as one calm pair. The small, minimalist studs don't pull attention away from that play of light - they sit close to the earlobe, right by the face and hairline. Rose quartz has long been associated with tenderness and harmonious relationships, which makes it a frequent choice as a gift for someone close to you.

The stone is natural and carefully selected, so at a modest weight of 1.0 g you get clear quality at a price that stays within reason. Silver and good coloured stones keep rising in price, and those with a pure colour are becoming harder to find, so a purchase like this makes price sense today. Refined European silver of 925 fineness stands behind the purity of this alloy - it is the fineness mark that confirms there is no nickel or other harmful additives in the metal, which is why the earrings don't irritate the skin near the ear. A rhodium layer on the surface protects the silver against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine stays clear for a long time. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, a legally protected mark registered with the French assay office, which attests the origin of the metal.

These earrings feel most at home in relaxed weekend layering: under a loose oversized sweater, with a scarf draped over the shoulders, in muted grey or beige. Hair worn loose or piled up high reveals the line of the ear and neck, and the rose quartz catches the light gently with every movement of the head. These are earrings for a day when simplicity of form and a calm, warm touch of colour near the face are what matter.
