Six faceted-cut emeralds fall into a striking line on a silver pendant of classic design. Each stone shows a deep, saturated green with a cool undertone, and the facets catch the light in small flashes whenever the pendant moves. It's a piece easy to overlook at first glance, yet hard to match for such a pure colour. The pendant measures 3.0 cm and has a distinctly bigger, large form, so it sits well on the décolletage and along the neckline.

We select the emeralds for this pendant for their clarity and depth of colour, since these are what determine the stone's value at a reasonable price. Silver and good coloured stones keep rising in price, so buying a pendant like this today makes sense from a value standpoint. The metal is refined 925 silver of European quality, rhodium-plated with a hard rhodium layer that protects the surface from tarnishing and dulling, keeping the shine bright for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so even worn for long periods it won't irritate the skin. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the metal's origin.

The pendant's classic form brings a calm yet striking accent of colour to an outfit. It looks good with a muted grey turtleneck and a light trench coat, where the green of the emeralds stands out against the neutral background. It works just as well for a city meeting as for an evening out - simply undo the top button of a shirt to reveal the neckline. It weighs 2.7 g, so it wears without any heaviness, and its classic design keeps it relevant season after season.
