This necklace with three garnets plays out in a deep, saturated purple with every turn of the head. The faceted cut breaks light into fine glints and heightens the intensity of the stone's colour, all while revealing no inclusions. A delicate 42 cm chain, with a 4 cm adjustable extension, sits loosely along the neckline and lets you position the pendant exactly where it flatters the neck best. The modern, understated setting keeps the focus on the stone itself - it leads the eye.

Each of the three garnets was chosen by hand for colour and clarity, which makes stones of this quality hard to match at this price. Prices for silver and fine coloured stones keep rising steadily, so buying this necklace today looks like a sound decision. Refined sterling silver 925 keeps the alloy highly pure, and the rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and loss of shine for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for most contact allergies, so the necklace can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The French maker's mark on the clasp attests to the metal's origin and quality.

The garnet's deep, wine-dark colour finds a natural match in romantic looks. A lace blouse in powder pink or a pastel dress with an open neckline lets the stone truly shine against light-coloured fabric. Paired with an ecru wool jumper, the necklace brings a warm, deep touch of colour. It also works well with a blouse in a fine, delicate pattern, where the subtle setting doesn't compete with the fabric's texture. The garnet remains the strongest point of the whole look.
