Classic and understated, these moonstone stud earrings pair a simple form with a subtle play of light near the face. Cut as cabochons, the two moonstones show a characteristic blue flash that appears and fades with every turn of the head, bringing life to the line of the cheek and hair. This phenomenon, known as adularescence, has long been associated with intuition and inner awareness, and in some cultures moonstone accompanied moments of focus and meditation.

Each stone is chosen for its colour and clarity - only those with a clear, pure sheen make it into these earrings, which at such a modest price gives a quality rarely found in this range. Good natural stones are becoming harder to find, as their supply is limited by nature itself, and silver itself is also rising in price - which is why buying at today's price makes sense now. The setting is refined European silver, sterling silver 925, pure and nickel-free, so it will not irritate the skin during extended wear. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine over time. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which establishes its origin and is registered with the assay office.

These earrings feel at home in the evening, worn with the little black dress and hair swept into a simple bun that reveals the line of the neck. A silk blouse in a cool shade of navy or grey lets the stone's blue flash speak for itself without competing with other accessories. With such a look, all it takes is skipping a statement necklace - attention still returns to the delicate glimmer near the face.
