The cool blue of a faceted blue topaz draws light in and scatters it into fine flashes - the pendant catches the eye with every movement. The precisely cut facets reveal the depth of the colour: from pale aquamarine to an intense, saturated blue, depending on the angle of the light. The minimal setting steps back, leaving all the attention on the stone.

The blue topaz was selected for consistency of colour and clarity - at this price point, a stone of this quality is hard to come by today, as fine examples are becoming increasingly scarce. The pendant is made from refined European sterling silver 925: an alloy free from nickel and allergenic metal additives, so wearing it carries no risk of reactions or irritation. Rhodium deposited on the surface protects the silver against tarnishing and keeps it bright. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark - an attestation of the silver's origin.

In summer the pendant works well at the neckline of a floaty viscose dress or a linen blouse in off-white - the blue of the topaz brings life to light, summery tones and sits naturally alongside the texture of natural fabrics. With a deeper neckline the stone draws the eye along the line of the neck, lending the whole look a sense of lightness without unnecessary adornment.
