the deep purple of garnet catches the eye at first glance. six faceted stones are arranged in a pendant measuring 3.0 cm in length, and each facet catches the light at a different angle, bringing subtle flashes of dark red into the whole. the form has a loose, boho character - the irregular rhythm of the stones and the natural, slightly raw line keep the pendant from looking stiff or overly formal, despite the bold garnet colour.

we assess every garnet for colour and clarity before it goes into its silver setting - hence the exceptional stone quality at a reasonable price. the price of silver and of good coloured stones is rising, and finding such a richly saturated garnet is becoming harder, so today's price on this pendant makes sense. the setting is refined European silver of 925 fineness, and a layer of rhodium protects it from tarnishing and losing its shine for years to come. a pure alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives means the metal doesn't irritate even sensitive skin. the pendant is stamped with the French maker's mark, registered at the assay office, which attests the silver's origin.

on the neckline, this pendant works best as part of a total-black look - a black turtleneck or a simple cotton blouse creates a backdrop against which the garnet becomes a point of light at the throat. the boho character of the form also pairs well with a linen shirt and natural fabrics, where the raw simplicity of the outfit underscores the intensity of the stone's colour. this is jewelry that works best in understated styling - the fewer accessories around it, the more clearly the depth of the garnet against the silver comes through.
