This labradorite pendant draws the eye with a play of blue light that emerges from the stone's dark background with every turn of the head. The cabochon cut shows off these flashes best - the more you tilt it towards the light, the more intensely that cool, steely glow shimmers. The simple, minimalist form of the pendant keeps attention on the stone, and its very small size means it sits right at the neck, close to the neckline. Labradorite was once associated with peace of mind and self-confidence; today it's simply valued as a stone of unique character.

Only a small portion of the sorted raw material makes it into this piece - what matters is depth of colour and clarity of reflection, which is why the final effect is so striking. Silver and good stones get more expensive year on year, so buying a pendant like this today is a sound decision price-wise. The setting is rhodium-plated silver, which thanks to its hard, resistant rhodium layer keeps its shine for a long time and needs less cleaning than plain silver. Beneath it lies pure, refined sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and other metals that can irritate the skin, comfortable for sensitive skin. The silver bears the French maker's mark, attesting to the metal's origin.

A pendant like this feels right at a family celebration - worn with an elegant dress in a dark shade, alongside classic, understated accessories. In the warm light of candles or a chandelier, the blue flash of the labradorite stands out against the skin and becomes a natural focal point that draws the eye of those around you. It works just as well beneath the collar of a simple blouse, where the modest metal form stays in the background and all the attention rests on the stone. This is jewelry made to be worn close to the neck - discreet in form, but distinct in character.
