Two jade cabochons rest in a dangle setting that sways gently with every turn of the head. The deep, saturated green of the jade responds to light in short flashes, and the cabochon cut highlights its smooth, almost waxy surface. Around the main stones are scattered forty-eight small cubic zirconia, adding a discreet sparkle to the whole without drawing attention away from the jade. The big form and the 3.5 centimetre length let the earrings fall loosely along the line of the neck, leaving space around the ears and face.

Each jade is examined individually before it goes into the setting - what matters is the depth of colour and the absence of clouding, since only a clear stone gives this play of light. Silver is rising in price year on year, and good, clear jades are becoming scarcer, so deciding to buy now makes sense. The setting is made of refined 925 silver of European quality, additionally coated with rhodium, a metal that is hard and resistant to scratching, so the shine does not fade after a few weeks of wear. The alloy contains no nickel or other irritating additives, so the earrings can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The silver of these earrings bears the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal.

These earrings suit relaxed, weekend styling. An oversized sweater in grey or beige, a shawl thrown over it and hair worn loose - in that setting, the green of the jade catches the eye with every turn of the head. They can also be worn with a simple shirt and a midi skirt, when you want to keep a calm, modern look without unnecessary embellishments. The dangle form works well with hair worn loose or lightly pinned up, revealing the line of the ears and neck.
