This minimalist moonstone pendant pairs a simple, classic form with a stone of unusual character. Every cabochon is checked under light before it goes into its setting - depth and clarity are what matter, because only then does that characteristic blue shimmer play across the surface with every movement. Craftsmen of old associated this stone with intuition and inner calm, and the pendant's form stays true to that spirit: simple and uncluttered, with the cabochon set in a narrow mount, free of unnecessary detail.

For a stone like this we choose only refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, free of nickel and other additives that could irritate the skin. A rhodium surface protects the metal against tarnishing and scratches, so the pendant keeps its shine for a long time and needs less upkeep. Good moonstones are becoming harder to find, and silver is rising in price, which makes a well-selected piece at this price a sensible choice today. The chain carries the French maker's mark - a legally protected stamp registered with the French assay office, attesting to the metal's origin.

The very small, delicate cabochon fits well into office style: a smooth shirt with a high collar or a plain sweater under a blazer gives it a calm backdrop against which the blue shimmer draws the eye at once. In muted office colours - grey, navy, white - the stone stands out most. The pendant weighs just 1.5 grams, so it sits weightlessly at the neckline, and its simple form works just as well against a shirt collar as it does on bare skin.
