A pendant with four sapphires plays with cool blue light at every turn of the head. The faceted cut breaks light into fine glimmers that shift across the stone's surface and change the intensity of colour depending on the viewing angle. The classic, symmetrical setting doesn't distract from this play of light, and the four stones line up in a calm, orderly row across the neckline.

We assess every sapphire for colour and clarity before it goes into the setting, so you won't find any dull or clouded stones in the finished piece. Nature limits the availability of fine sapphires, and their prices are rising along with the price of silver and other precious metals, so buying now makes sense from a price standpoint. The pendant is made of refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that is hard and scratch-resistant, so the metal's shine lasts long without tarnishing. The alloy contains no nickel or other allergenic additives, so you can wear it without worrying about skin irritation. The metal is stamped with a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

In summer, this pendant pairs well with a light-coloured linen dress with an open neckline, where the blue of the sapphires stands out against the fabric's natural colour. It also goes with a simple cotton shirt with an open collar. At 0.8 g, the metal is barely noticeable on the neck throughout the day.
