Two black onyx cabochons sit in a simple, classic stud setting that keeps the focus on the stone itself. The deep black of the onyx plays with a matte, velvety sheen when light hits it at an angle - the cabochon's surface reflects it gently, without any harsh glare. In old jewellery tradition, onyx was linked to strength, endurance and self-confidence, which makes these earrings a natural choice for a gift with a personal meaning.

Each onyx is chosen for its even, deep colour free of discolouration or flaws - this is what sets a piece worth noticing apart from an average one. Silver and good stones are rising in price, and pieces of this quality are becoming harder to find, so this purchase makes sense from a price standpoint today. The setting is made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other sensitising additives - comfortable even for sensitive skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine clear and bright for years. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to its origin.

These earrings feel most at home close to the face in relaxed, weekend looks - with hair down, under a chunky oversized sweater and a soft scarf in cool grey or graphite black. The classic stud shape sits light at the ear and lets you wear them from morning to evening. The black of the onyx pairs well with natural, muted fabrics and the simple neckline revealed by a sweetheart-neck sweater.
