THE ACCENT OF STUD PEARL EARRINGS

A small treasure out of the ocean, shining through the jewellery box. 
In the mirror, her sea-grey eyes grow brighter, each pearl a quiet moon that pulls their tide closer to the surface.
Later, on the sun-washed street, every glance she lifts is edged with soft radiance. Her eyes glimmering, just like the sun shines on the waves. Passers-by follow the shimmer, of the way she looks straight through.
