A faceted moonstone plays with a blue sheen as light catches it from different angles - adularescence reveals itself as a soft glow that shifts across the surface of the stone. The facets sharpen this effect, giving the necklace a distinctly modern character. A simple silver setting steps back and lets the stone draw the eye.

The choice of this particular stone came down to colour and clarity - no cloudiness, with a pronounced blue flash. Good moonstones are becoming increasingly rare, which makes this price particularly reasonable today. The necklace is made from refined sterling silver 925 - a clean alloy free from nickel and other sensitising additives, safe even for sensitive skin. A rhodium layer protects the metal against tarnishing and keeps the bright shine intact over time. The French maker's mark struck on the piece attests to the metal's origin and European quality of craftsmanship.

The necklace measures 43 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extender, so you can easily adapt it to your neckline. Against a linen shirt in a natural shade, the blue flash of the stone comes through clearly - the cool glow contrasts with the warm fabric. It works equally well with a loosely cut cotton dress, where the simple form of the necklace and the quiet radiance of the moonstone come together as a coherent, effortless whole.
