Deep and dark, the labradorite in this pendant shimmers with a blue, at times steely glow that appears and disappears with every turn of the head. The cabochon cut brings out this labradorescence at its fullest - the flat, smooth surface of the stone acts like a mirror for light, while the dark background makes the cool blue flashes stand out even more. The very big form and the loose, irregular silhouette of the setting fit the vintage and boho mood, with a clear nod to jewelry with soul and history. In old beliefs, a stone like this was linked to peace of mind, inspiration and faith in one's own strength.pendant.

For this piece we chose a labradorite of exceptionally pure, saturated colour - it is this, rather than the sheer size of the stone, that decided its refined quality at a reasonable price. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so buying a pendant like this today makes sense price-wise. The setting is made of refined European 925 silver, a pure alloy free of nickel and harmful metal additives, which can be worn without worrying about skin irritation or allergic reactions. The piece is finished with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, attesting to the origin of the metal.

This pendant looks its best against a bare neckline - on a thin chain it falls freely along the line of the neck, so it's worth choosing a top or dress with a simple, low neckline. For an evening out it works well with a little black dress or a silk blouse with no extra ornament at the neck, letting the blue flash of the labradorite draw the eye. During the day it pairs nicely with a loose sweater in muted grey or charcoal fabric, where the boho character of the stone gets more room to shine. Its very big size keeps the pendant visible even from a distance.
