Subtle and modern, this moonstone pendant catches the eye with a cool blue shimmer that shifts across the facets with every movement. The faceted cut does not conceal the adularescence - it breaks it across the individual facets, so the blue flash changes intensity depending on the angle of light. The minimalist setting steps back, leaving all attention on the stone. Ancient cultures associated moonstone with intuition and inner awareness - an association that still gives it a certain depth.

Each stone is personally selected for the colour and clarity of its flash - the availability of quality specimens is limited by nature itself, and prices for good moonstones are steadily rising. The pendant is made from refined European sterling silver 925, and a rhodium layer protects the metal against tarnishing, maintaining a bright polish. The alloy contains no nickel - a metal known to cause allergic reactions - so the piece does not cause allergies. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the silver.

Worn at the neckline, this pendant works best with soft knitted jumpers in off-white or cool grey - the blue flash of the stone brings life to monochromatic combinations. Against a deeper neckline, it sits beautifully against a silky blouse in a cream shade. The lightweight form and 1.3 g weight mean the pendant sits comfortably and does not weigh down the chain throughout the day.
