A labradorite cabochon opens up this pendant like a window onto a dark sky with a flash of light. The surface of the stone shifts with every turn of the head - dark, matte grey on one side, a sudden steel-blue flash on the other that vanishes as quickly as it appeared. The big form and clearly defined cabochon give the pendant a look that's raw yet feminine, while the slightly irregular silhouette brings in a touch of boho style without excess. Worn at neckline height, the stone plays with light with every breath.

Only part of the sorted raw material makes it into this pendant - what matters is the depth of the dark background and the intensity of the blue flash, the rest is discarded. Good labradorites are rising in price along with precious metals, so buying at today's price makes sense. The stone is set in refined European silver 925, free of nickel and other irritating additives, which even sensitive skin will appreciate. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the pendant keeps its shine for a long time without extra care. The French maker's mark struck on the piece attests the origin of the metal. In old-world craftsmanship, labradorite was associated with peace of mind and self-confidence - a symbol that fits well with the character of this stone.

In the evening, this pendant works well with a little black dress and an open neckline, or with a silk blouse worn without any other jewellery at the neck. At 4.4 grams, the stone rests easily on the skin without weighing it down. Dark, muted outfit colours - charcoal, black, deep grey - show off the blue flash of the labradorite best. A delicate ring is enough for the hands, so all the attention stays on the stone at the neckline.
