Two faceted blue topaz stones open into tiny mirrors with every turn of the head. The multitude of facets catches light from different angles and breaks it into short, cool flashes, while the stone itself stays clear and pure, without a trace of cloudiness. The dangle form of the earrings brings a modern, elongated line to any look, one that pairs well with a bare neck and hair pulled back.

Only a portion of the sorted raw material makes it into production - what matters is the depth of blue and the clarity of the topaz, which is why the final result is noticeably better than average. Silver and good coloured stone prices are rising, and finding topaz in this shade is getting harder, so buying at this price makes sense now. The setting is rhodium-plated silver - the rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, so the shine doesn't fade after a few wears. The base is refined European sterling silver 925, an alloy free of nickel and harmful additives, so the earrings can be worn without worry of irritation. The metal is confirmed by a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

These earrings work best close to the face - with simple, soft cashmere or cotton jumpers, in a muted, monochrome look in greys or creams. Hair tied back in a ponytail or bun reveals the line of the neck and lets the blue of the topaz draw the eye without competing with the rest of the outfit. Paired with an office shirt or a turtleneck jumper, they add a modern, cool touch of colour. Their medium size and weight of 2.0 g mean they can be worn comfortably from morning to evening.
