This moonstone pendant draws out a blue glimmer that shifts across the surface of the cabochon with every turn of the hand. The phenomenon is known as adularescence - in motion, the stone reveals a cool, silvery light that stays hidden when it is still. The simple pendant, vintage and boho in feel, doesn't distract from this effect, and the chain leads the eye straight to the stone. In old beliefs, moonstone was linked to intuition and awareness, and was also seen as a companion for meditation.

Each stone for this pendant is chosen so that colour and clarity stay even, so the quality matches the price you pay. Silver and other precious metals are rising in price, and good moonstones are becoming harder to find, which makes this purchase worth making now. The setting is refined European 925 silver, a pure alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives, gentle on the skin even with long wear close to the neck. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the silver.

The pendant feels at home at a meeting in town - under an open trench coat, over a cool beige turtleneck or a grey-toned sweater. A neutral outfit lets the blue glimmer fully reveal itself with every turn of the head. All it takes is an open neckline or a shirt collar to put the stone at the centre of attention. At 2.6 grams, the pendant wears comfortably from morning to evening, and its boho character pairs well with a simple, everyday look.
