The deep, dark red hue of the garnets flashes with purple as light catches the facets of the stones set along the silver chain. The vintage form of the necklace recalls jewelry from an earlier era, while keeping a lightness that makes it easy to wear today. Each of the ten garnets is examined for colour and clarity before it is set - only stones with an intense, even colour are chosen for this piece. Silver is rising in price, and good-quality garnets are becoming harder to find, so buying them today remains a sound decision.

The setting is made of refined sterling silver 925 with a high-purity alloy - free of nickel and other additives that could irritate the skin. A layer of rhodium protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the necklace needs little cleaning and keeps its shine for a long time. The metal bears the French maker's mark, which attests to the quality and origin of the precious metal. The 47-centimetre length is complemented by an adjustable 4-centimetre extension, allowing the necklace to be fitted to different necklines and collars.

In spring, the necklace pairs well with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf in a muted shade - the purple glow of the garnets draws the eye against the light tones of the coat. A light-coloured handbag and a simple blouse that reveals the neckline also complete the look, giving the stones room to show their colour fully. In the evening, the necklace sits just as well on the neckline of a darker-toned dress, where the contrast with the garnet becomes more striking. This vintage form works equally well in everyday and more dressed-up outfits.
