This turquoise pendant captures a calm, deep sky blue without a single flaw of colour. The cabochon cut arranges light into a soft glow that reveals delicate flashes across the stone's surface with every movement of the hand. The natural turquoise comes from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, known for its even, saturated blue colour free of discoloration. The pendant's form draws on vintage and boho style: the simple setting doesn't distract from the stone, and the whole composition stays relaxed and slightly retro.

A piece of turquoise this pure in colour and free of flaws is easy to miss, and another just as even is hard to find afterwards. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, and nature offers fewer and fewer good stones of this quality, so today's price for this pendant remains reasonable. The stone is set in pure, refined sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives, so the metal doesn't irritate the skin during extended wear. The French maker's mark on the piece attests to the origin of the silver.

The pendant sits well along the neckline and works well in an everyday urban style: under a white shirt with sleeves rolled up, in the neckline slit with plain jeans, or over a leather jacket, where the cool grey of the leather contrasts with the warm blue of the turquoise. In a more relaxed version, it also pairs well with a linen boho-style shirt and natural fabrics. At 2.6 g, it wears lightly all day long, and the blue stone remains the main point the eye keeps returning to.
