Dangle earrings with two rose quartz stones catch the eye with a soft, warm glow right by the face. The faceted cut breaks light into small glimmers that come alive with every movement of the head and highlight the line of the neck and hairline. The modern, dangling form stays light and simple, with no unnecessary extras - the stone itself is what leads the eye. In jewelry tradition, rose quartz has long been linked to tenderness and harmonious relationships, which makes it a fitting choice for a gift.

Every piece is judged on colour and clarity - for this pair we chose quartz stones with an even, saturated hue and a clear structure, free of cloudiness. That quality at a reasonable price is a real strength of these earrings, especially since silver and good natural stones are getting more expensive, and finding clean quartz in this tone is becoming harder - which makes buying now a sound choice. They are set in refined 925 silver of European quality, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts. The alloy contains no nickel or other allergenic additives, so the earrings can be worn without worry of irritation. The whole piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the silver.

These earrings fit well into relaxed, weekend outfits. An oversized oatmeal-coloured sweater, a loose scarf draped over the shoulders and hair tied back casually - in such a look, the pink glow of the quartz stands out nicely against muted grey or beige. They also suit a simple shirt and loose hair, when you want the stone's delicate colour to be what draws attention near the face. Their light weight, 2.0 grams, means they can be worn comfortably all day long.
