These boho dangle earrings catch the eye with a delicate sway at every turn of the head. Eight faceted blue topaz stones catch the light in small flashes that shift across the facets with the slightest movement. The blue of the topaz here has a cool, distinct character - not pastel, but saturated, standing out well against the face and neckline. The loose, dangling form gives the earrings a rhythm of their own as you brush back your hair or turn your head.

The choice of these eight topazes came down to the colour and clarity of each stone individually - specimens with a weaker hue were ruled out from the start. Precious metals are rising in price, and well-matched stones are becoming harder to find, so buying them at a reasonable price makes sense today. The earrings are made using the vermeil technique: a core of refined European silver is covered with a thick layer of 18-carat gold, which is what touches the skin, and its compliance with the French standard is confirmed by the stamped V mark. The 925 fineness attests to the purity of the silver alloy itself beneath the gold layer. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which guarantees the metal's origin.

These earrings sit well with weekend layers - a loose oversized sweater, a cotton scarf draped over the shoulders, in a muted palette of beige and grey. Loose hair or a relaxed braid reveal the neckline and let the blue of the topaz play with every movement of the head. This is a composition for quiet days, when the outfit stays simple and the stone by the face draws all the attention.
