Dark labradorite on a silver chain shimmers with a blue, at times steel-grey glow that appears and fades with every turn of the head. Three cabochons, set in a simple line, showcase only that flash of colour - no sharp edges, no extra texture to distract from it. The minimalist form of the necklace leaves all the attention on the stone, while the silver chain, 42 cm long with an adjustable 4 cm extension, lets you wear it loosely at the neckline, lower or closer to the throat. In old craft traditions labradorite was linked to self-confidence and calm thinking, treated as a symbol of inner balance.

Each of the three labradorites passes through the hands of someone who assesses its colour and clarity before it is set - which is why this necklace holds stones with a clear, distinct flash rather than random specimens. Silver is rising in price, and good labradorites are becoming harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense right now. The necklace is made of refined sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives, in line with European standards of craftsmanship. The rhodium plating protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the metal keeps its shine for a long time. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the assay office.

This is a necklace for the office and meetings, where a restrained, put-together look matters. It sits well against a smooth shirt buttoned to the neck or under a jacket collar in a cool shade of grey or navy - there, the blue flash of the labradorite catches the eye while the outfit as a whole stays understated. With a simple, single-colour dress it works the same way: the stone does the work, the background stays out of its way. Very small, weighing 3.2 grams, it wears lightly all day long.
