Ten faceted labradorites line up along a silver chain in a rhythmic, striking pattern. Against the stone's dark background a blue, at times steely, flash appears - the characteristic labradorescence that reveals itself with every turn of the head. The faceted cut divides the surface into small facets, so light is caught from many angles and glints appear here and there instead of spreading into a single flat shine. The necklace's shape has a distinctly retro look, and its length of 47 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extension lets you position it exactly where you want it - lower on the neckline or higher, closer to the base of the neck.

Only stones with an even, deep colour go into this necklace, so no labradorite stands out in lightness against the others. This selection raises the quality of the whole piece, yet the price stays accessible. Good labradorites are rising in price along with precious metals, so today's price for this necklace makes sense. The silver is coated with a layer of rhodium that protects it from tarnishing and dulling, so the shine lasts long despite daily wear. This is refined 925 silver of European quality, free of nickel and harmful additives, that does not irritate the skin even on direct contact. The clasp bears a maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office, which attests to the metal's origin. Labradorite has long been associated with calm thinking, inspiration and self-confidence.

This necklace looks good with a linen shirt open at the neck or with a loose cotton blouse - natural fabrics bring out its vintage character. Muted, light-coloured outfits act as a backdrop against which the blue flash of the stones stands out clearly. In summer it works well with a simple cotton dress, in autumn with a heavier sweater and an open neckline. Eight grams of silver and medium-sized links give it just the right weight, without weighing down the neck.
