Dangle earrings set with two aquamarines play with a cool, watery blue that the faceted cut breaks into small flashes of light. The form is slender and light, with no unnecessary embellishment - just what today's minimalist fashion favours. Hanging freely, they move with every turn of the head and naturally draw the eye to the neckline and face, revealing the stone's colour in full light.

An aquamarine of such a pure, saturated shade of blue is easy to overlook, yet a second piece of similar depth of colour is hard to match later on. Silver and good-quality stones get more expensive year after year, so buying at this price today makes sense. The setting is made of refined European 925 silver, coated with a layer of rhodium, a hard metal that protects the surface from tarnishing and blackening, so the earrings need less everyday cleaning. The alloy is nickel-free, nickel being the metal responsible for most allergic reactions, so wearing them does not irritate the skin. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the metal's origin.

For an evening out, they work well with a simple black dress and a silk blouse - in that setting, the aquamarine's blue becomes the strongest point of the look, with no need for any other jewellery. Hair pinned up or swept back reveals the neckline and lets the earrings move freely with every gesture. This is a modest yet striking piece for dinner or a night at the theatre, where what matters is a single well-considered detail by the face.
