A labradorite cabochon sits on a silver chain right at the neckline, its dark surface shimmering with blue, at times steely, flashes with every turn of the head. This phenomenon, known as labradorescence, shows best in natural light, when the stone shifts from deep graphite grey to cool blue. The pendant's form draws on boho and vintage style - a raw, slightly organic setting pairs simplicity with the character of stones worn for generations.

For this piece we chose a stone with even colour and a clear, deep glow, free of discoloration or flaws that would dull its shine. Silver and good labradorites are getting more expensive year after year, so a pendant at this price and this quality is a sound choice today. It is set in refined European silver, sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and other allergenic additives, which can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The French maker's mark on the metal confirms its origin. In old beliefs, labradorite was said to bring calm thoughts, inspiration and faith in one's own decisions - today it is often simply a symbol of those values.

For a meeting in town it works well with a cool grey turtleneck or under an open trench coat - a neutral backdrop lets the stone draw the eye without needing anything else to say. The pendant's big size and its weight of 4.3 grams give it a presence you feel with every movement, not just see up close. In the evening it suits a simple sweater with a sweetheart neckline, where the labradorite remains the only piece of jewellery at the throat. This is a pendant for women who look for character in simplicity, not ornamentation.
