Dangle earrings with aquamarine play a cool, watery blue with every turn of the head. The faceted cut breaks light into small flashes that shift in intensity as your hair reveals the line of the neck. The light, openwork silhouette with a boho feel doesn't weigh down the ear, and the loose, free-flowing form pairs well with hair worn down or gathered loosely. Near the face, the stone works as a cool accent - its bright, clear colour brightens the complexion and draws the eye of whoever you're talking to.

Each pair features two aquamarines chosen for their clarity and even, cool colour - it's these that define the character of the earrings, while two small cubic zirconias only gently highlight their sparkle. Silver and good coloured stones have been steadily rising in price for some time, so earrings of this quality at this price are a sensible choice today. Refined 925 silver of European quality has a clean alloy free of nickel and other irritating additives, which matters for the sensitive skin around the ear. A rhodium coating protects the surface from tarnishing and loss of shine, so the silver keeps its bright, even lustre despite everyday wear. The French maker's mark guarantees the quality and origin of the precious metal used in this jewelry.

They work well for the office with a plain shirt and a simple blazer in muted grey or navy - the blue of the aquamarine freshens up such a classic look without being showy. Hair pulled into a bun or a simple ponytail shows off the neckline and lets the stone move freely near the face. At 3.1 g, the earrings stay light all day, from a morning meeting to an evening out.
