Two faceted garnets adorn this pendant right at the neckline, catching the light from every angle as you move. The stone's deep purple thickens in shadow and lightens with each movement, its tiny facets drawing out glints of deep red. The modern, understated form keeps all the attention on the stones - the metal simply frames them, never pulling focus.

Every garnet is assessed for colour and clarity before it goes into the setting, which is why the quality of the stone matters at this price point. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year after year, so buying now remains a sound pricing decision. The pendant is made of refined European silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium - this helps the surface keep its shine longer and need less cleaning. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so it does not irritate the skin even with extended wear. The piece is stamped with the maker's mark, registered with the French assay office, which confirms the origin of the metal.

Garnet sits beautifully alongside lace and pastel fabrics - a lace blouse in a powder shade or a dress with a small, romantic print makes a natural backdrop for this colour. In a light, understated outfit, it's the stone that draws the eye and brings the neckline to life. Weighing 2.3 g, the pendant sits lightly on the neck and works just as well with a simple sweater as with a flowing evening dress.
