The dark, almost graphite labradorite in this pendant hides a cool, blue glow beneath its surface. With every turn of the head, flashes of blue and steel-toned light drift across the stone and vanish as quickly as they appeared - an effect best seen in a cabochon cut, which doesn't scatter light through facets but concentrates it on a smooth surface. The shape, set on a fine silver chain, has a loose, slightly raw character close to boho style, with a clear vintage touch in the simplicity of its setting. Craftsmen from the regions where this stone was once mined associated it with clarity of mind and confidence in one's own decisions.

A piece with such a deep, saturated colour and such a distinct play of light is easy to overlook - and hard to replace once gone, since finding another with similar depth isn't easy. Silver and good stones have been steadily rising in price for some time now, so buying today makes practical sense. The pendant is made of refined 925 silver of European quality, and its pure alloy, free of nickel and other allergy-triggering metals, keeps it comfortable to wear for long periods, even on sensitive skin. The piece bears the French maker's mark, struck as a mark of the metal's origin.

At the neck and neckline, this stone works best paired with muted, light-toned fabrics. A pastel trench coat, a silk scarf tied loosely under the collar and a light-coloured leather bag create a backdrop against which the stone's blue glint immediately catches the eye. The pendant also pairs well with a plain shirt worn open at the neck, for a simpler, everyday look. At 2.5 grams, it wears lightly all day long.
