A garnet pendant brings a depth of rich red to everyday outfits - a red that shifts in tone with every change of light. The faceted garnet catches each glimmer and sends it back differently: one moment a warm ruby, the next a cooler purple. The modern, minimalist setting does not compete with the stone; all attention stays with the colour.

Only a small portion of the reviewed raw material makes it into the finished piece - garnet selected for its clarity and intensity of colour. Good specimens of garnet are becoming increasingly rare, so buying now is a sensible decision on price. The pendant is made from refined European sterling silver 925, free from harmful metal impurities. A thin layer of rhodium protects the silver against tarnishing and keeps its bright lustre for a long time. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark registered at the French assay office - confirmation of European quality craftsmanship.

In summer, the pendant pairs beautifully with a flowing dress in cream or white cotton - the rich red of the garnet stands out against a light background and draws the eye to the neckline. It also works well with a relaxed linen shirt in a natural shade, where the minimalist form of the pendant suits a light, summery look. Cooler days offer the chance to pair it with a boat neckline and a fine-knit jumper in off-white.
