This necklace with five labradorites plays with a blue, sometimes steely reflection that only reveals itself when the head moves. The faceted cut breaks light into tiny facets, and each one catches a different shade of the stone's dark, deep background. The simple, modern line of the chain doesn't draw attention away from this play of light - it simply lets it happen along the neckline. In old crafts, labradorite was associated with peace of mind and self-confidence, treated as a symbol of inner balance.

We select each of the five stones for their colour and the clarity of their reflection, since these are what decide whether a labradorite truly captivates rather than simply going dark against the metal. Good labradorites rise in price along with silver, so buying at this price today makes sense. The necklace is made of refined sterling silver 925 with a high alloy purity, and a rhodium layer protects its surface against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine bright for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel, so wearing this jewellery does not cause allergies. The French maker's mark struck on the piece attests to the origin of the metal.

The 41 cm chain with an adjustable 4 cm extension lets you arrange the necklace to suit the neckline of any given dress. It looks best in the evening, worn with a little black dress or a simple silk blouse with an open neckline - there the stone's blue reflection truly draws the eye, without needing any further adornment. It can also be paired with a plain turtleneck in winter, when the cool grey of the sweater nicely sets off the labradorite's dark tone. This necklace works best precisely where what matters is one striking, well-tailored accent at the neck.
