Six faceted rubies fall into a calm, classic line in these dangle earrings. The facets catch light from different angles and draw out a rich, dark red from the stone, with no dull or overly pale patches - a sign that the rubies' colour and clarity were matched to one shared tone. Such an even, deep red across six stones at once is a rarity, not a given.

Rubies of this quality and even colour are hard to find today at a reasonable price, as fine gemstones keep rising in price along with metals. That is exactly what makes choosing these earrings worthwhile now - you are paying for a carefully matched selection of stone, not for an elaborate setting. The rhodium coating on the silver protects it against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine clear for a long time. Underneath lies refined European silver 925, in a nickel-free alloy, so the earrings can be worn for extended periods without causing allergic reactions. The silver bears a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, attesting to the metal's origin.

Near the ears and along the neckline, these earrings read as discreet yet distinctive - the classic form does not draw attention away from the ruby's colour. Pair them with a chunky oversized sweater and a cool grey scarf for a weekend outing, or with loose hair and a simple shirt when you want a calm look without too many extra accessories. At a medium size and weighing 1.9 g, they can be worn comfortably all day, with the ruby red remaining the main accent of the whole look.
