The deep, vintage character of this pendant recalls old jewelry pulled from the depths of a grandmother's jewelry box at first glance. The moonstone in a cabochon cut reveals a blue flash that shifts across the surface with every turn of the pendant on its chain. This is the phenomenon of adularescence - in old jewelry-making tradition, the moonstone was linked to intuition, inner awareness and moments of meditation. The big size of the setting lets the stone show off this play of light in full, unhurried and without unnecessary additions around it.

A piece like this, where the blue flash is clear and even, is easy to overlook - good moonstones of this quality aren't found at every turn. Silver and stones of this class get more expensive year by year, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The pendant is made of refined European silver 925 with a high-purity alloy, free of nickel and other allergenic metal additives - it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The French maker's mark struck on the piece attests to the origin of the metal and its quality.

In summer this pendant looks best against the neckline of a flowing linen dress in a light ecru or sand shade - the blue flash of the stone immediately draws the eye against the plain, light fabric. It also works well with an open-collar shirt, when the neckline is left bare. At 3.5 grams, the pendant sits comfortably on the neckline without weighing it down throughout the day. Its vintage form and the big size of the setting make it a striking element of any outfit, standing out even against simple clothing.
