Faceted labradorite pairs the cool darkness of the stone with flashes of blue and steely shimmer that reveal themselves with every shift of angle. The faceted cut multiplies the light-reflecting surfaces, so the labradorescence appears more often and more vividly than with a smooth cabochon - each facet draws out a different shade of the same glow. The necklace is 43 cm long with a 4 cm adjustable extender, sitting right at the neckline where the body's movement constantly changes the angle of light.

Only a small portion of the reviewed raw material makes it into production - we select stones with deep colour and strong play of shimmer. Good labradorites are rising in price alongside silver, so today's price is all the more reasonable. They are set in refined sterling silver 925, of European quality - an alloy free from nickel and other harmful impurities, so the piece causes no allergic reactions or sensitivities. Rhodium deposited on the surface maintains a bright, lasting shine for years. The whole piece is signed with the French maker's mark - a guarantee of quality and origin of the precious metal.

Labradorite has long been associated with inspiration and self-confidence, and this necklace carries that symbolism in a light, contemporary way. Pair it with a white shirt and jeans when a leather jacket completes an urban look - the blue flash of the stone livens up muted tones and draws the eye at the neckline. With a simple collarless shirt, the necklace draws all attention towards the face.
