Two moonstone cabochons in these earrings hold a blue flash that appears and fades with every turn of the head. The cabochon cut doesn't flatten the stone - it lets light travel deeper and re-emerge as that characteristic, cool glow, instead of scattering it across the surface. The stud shape is simple and light, with a boho spirit and a hint of vintage, so the stone immediately becomes the thing the eye settles on near the face. In old-world craft, moonstone was linked to intuition and inner focus, close to meditation.

Each of the two moonstones was chosen for its colour and the clarity of its reflection, since only a strong adularescence gives this effect with such a delicate cut. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so earrings at this price and this quality are a sensible choice today. The setting is made of refined European 925 silver with hand-applied enamel - a pure alloy free of nickel and other sensitising additives, which matters for skin as sensitive as that around the ears. The metal is stamped with the French maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered at the French assay office, attesting to its origin.

They work well for a meeting in the city: a trench coat, a cool grey turtleneck and hair tucked behind the ears let the moonstone's blue flash catch the eye with every turn of the head. A neutral outfit palette doesn't dim its glow, it rather lets it stand out along the neckline. The medium size of the studs means the earrings wear easily from morning through to an evening out, with no need to change jewellery.
