Green and translucent, this peridot pendant catches the eye with a delicate, cool sparkle. Six faceted stones come together in a modest, classic form, and each facet catches the light differently - sometimes a brighter glint, sometimes a deeper, bottle-green shade. The big size of the pendant keeps the stone at the centre of attention, while the simple setting doesn't draw the eye away from it.

Peridot with such a pure, saturated colour and well-matched size doesn't turn up at every step - a set of six stones like this in one pendant is easy to miss, and a second identical one is hard to find afterwards. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year on year, so buying now makes sense from a price standpoint. The pendant is made of pure, refined sterling silver 925 - the European quality of this alloy shows in its smooth, even finish. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and losing its shine for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel, so wearing the pendant carries no risk of irritation. The metal is stamped with a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

At 3.0 cm long, the pendant sits easily along the neckline and works well for a meeting in town. Under a loosely tied trench coat, over a cool grey turtleneck or with a simple blouse in beige tones, the green stone becomes a natural point the eye keeps returning to. Neutral, muted colours in an outfit bring out the depth of the peridot best, and the pendant's classic form means it can be worn to work as well as for an evening out with friends.
