Lapis lazuli earrings bring a note of deep, dark navy blue threaded with golden pyrite veins into everyday styling. Two cabochon-cut stones catch the light with every turn of the head - the smooth surface reflects it differently than a faceted crystal, giving off a soft, focused glimmer. The stud's form is simple and modern, with no unnecessary detail, so all attention stays on the stone's colour. Ancient craftsmen in the Middle East associated lapis lazuli with intuition, idealism and inner harmony.

Each of the two stones was examined and selected individually for its rich, even colour, which is why they offer exceptional quality at a reasonable price. Silver keeps rising in price year after year, so earrings at this price are a sound choice today. The earrings are made of pure, refined sterling silver 925, and the fineness itself confirms the purity of the alloy - free of nickel and harmful additives, so the metal does not irritate the skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and loss of shine, keeping the lustre longer. The maker's mark struck on the piece, registered with the French assay office, attests to the origin of the metal.

Worn by the face and along the neckline, these earrings are discreet yet distinctive - they show beautifully with hair tied back or a short bob. For the office, pair them with a plain shirt and a blazer in a cool, muted grey, letting the stone's navy blue take the lead as the styling's main accent. In the evening, simply swap the shirt for a black top with a deep neckline, so that the deep purple of the make-up and the navy blue of the lapis lazuli come together in a calm, polished look. At 4.7 g, the earrings feel light to wear all day long.
