This labradorite pendant draws out blue and steel flashes from the stone's dark surface, coming alive with every turn of the head. The cabochon cut doesn't scatter that shimmer through facets but gathers it into one smooth plane, so the glow appears deeper. The pendant's form draws on a vintage and boho spirit - relaxed, slightly raw, as if taken from an old jewellery box, yet just as wearable today, for everyday or special occasions.

Every labradorite chosen for this collection was examined individually, since that's the only way to see in which stone the colour play falls most beautifully. Good labradorites are getting more expensive along with precious metals, and stones with such a rich play of light are increasingly hard to find, so today's price for this pendant makes sense. The stone is set in refined European silver 925, free of nickel and other sensitising additives, which even sensitive skin will appreciate. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which guarantees the metal's origin. In old beliefs, labradorite was associated with peace of mind and self-confidence, and it was also seen at times as a symbol of inspiration for artists and travellers.

Against a total-black neckline, a black turtleneck or a plain, unadorned blouse, this pendant becomes the point your eye keeps returning to - the rest of the outfit fades into the background, while the stone's blue glow plays most strikingly against the black. Its very big size and weight of 5.9 g give it a clear presence on the neck, without feeling heavy to wear. It also works beautifully with a loose boho-style sweater and a thick chain worn over the knit, where the stone's raw form completes the look.
