The cool, glassy blue of the aquamarine in these earrings recalls water lit by sunlight. Two faceted stones are set in a simple, modern form that hangs freely by the ear and moves with every turn of the head. The facets catch light from different angles, so the blue shifts in intensity depending on how the rays fall. Aquamarine has long been associated with calm and clarity, a feeling its clear, cool colour conveys well.

Both aquamarines were chosen so their colour and clarity play well together, with no obvious difference between the stones. The availability of fine stones is limited by nature itself, and silver and precious metals have been steadily rising in price in recent years. That makes earrings at this price a sensible buy today. They are set in refined European 925 silver of high alloy purity, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects against tarnishing, dulling and scratches, so the shine lasts a long time. The alloy contains no nickel or other allergenic additives, so the earrings can be worn without worry of irritation. The silver is stamped with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, which attests the metal's origin.

These earrings pair naturally with hair worn loose and tucked behind the ear, so the aquamarine blue stays visible along the neckline. For a weekend look, they work well with an oversized sweater in a calm grey shade and a light scarf draped over the shoulders. The medium size makes the earrings noticeable without weighing on the ear during longer wear. This is jewellery for everyday, easygoing outfits where the blue of the stone is meant to be the main focal point by the face.
