This turquoise pendant pairs raw rhodium-plated silver with the warm, saturated colour of the stone. The turquoise has a cabochon cut, so its surface stays smooth and gathers the light in one place, revealing a uniform, deep blue colour with no flashes of other shades. The stone comes from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, prized for the uniformity of its turquoise colour. The pendant's form is minimalist and modern, with no superfluous details to draw the eye away from the stone.

Each turquoise was examined individually, and this particular stone was chosen for its purity of colour, free of spots or discolouration. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, and good turquoise from Arizona's deposits is becoming harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense today. The stone is set in refined European silver 925, additionally coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, keeping its shine bright for years. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for allergic reactions, so the pendant can be worn without worrying about skin reactions. The French maker's mark on the piece attests to the origin of the silver.

This pendant works well in the city - over a turtleneck, under an open trench coat, or with an open-collar shirt, where a short chain sits the stone close to the neck. Turquoise stands out best against neutral colours: grey, beige, navy. At 3.0 g, the pendant wears unnoticeably, and its simple form means it can be worn both day and night without changing the whole outfit.
