These dangle earrings pair a modern, slender line with the warmth of two faceted garnets. The facets break light into small, deep-red flashes, and the stone's purple deepens in shadow and brightens with every turn of the head. The simple, dangling form doesn't pull attention away from the colour - it's the colour that leads the eye toward the face and the line of the neck. This lightness and clean silhouette reflect a distinctly French instinct for simple, modern forms.

Each of the two garnets was examined individually and chosen for depth of colour and clarity before being set - which is why, at a reasonable price, the stone looks like it belongs in a higher price bracket. Silver and other precious metal prices are rising, and good garnets are getting harder to find, so today's price on these earrings makes sense. The setting is refined European silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives, covered with a thick layer of 18-carat gold in line with the vermeil standard - it's the gold, not the silver, that touches the skin, and its presence is confirmed by the stamped V mark. The French maker's mark on the piece attests to the origin of the silver, and the European care in craftsmanship is visible in every detail of the setting.

They look best with an all-black look - a black turtleneck or a simple top with no other accessories, where the garnet's purple becomes the only colour near the face. Hair pulled into a bun or a sleek ponytail reveals the neckline and lets the stones swing freely. In the evening they work well with a deep-neckline dress, during the day with a simple coat and a cool grey turtleneck. The medium size and weight of 2.1 grams make them comfortable to wear all day long.
