Two faceted aquamarines draw a cool, watery blue out of the stone, one that shifts in intensity as the pendant turns - lighter at one moment, deeper the next, as if the light were spilling between the facets. The modern, understated shape of the setting doesn't pull attention away from this effect, so the pendant sits well at the neckline and along the collarbone, right where the stone shows best.

Each of the two aquamarines was inspected and chosen for clarity and colour saturation, free of the cloudiness that would lower the stone's quality. Good stones of this grade are getting harder to find, and silver and precious metal prices are rising, so buying this pendant now looks like a sound price decision. The setting is refined European sterling silver 925, pure and free of allergenic metal additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine despite everyday wear. The piece carries the French maker's mark, which guarantees the metal's origin.

This pendant suits easy, understated everyday looks - a soft turtleneck sweater in cool grey or a simple blouse with a gentle neckline let the aquamarines catch the eye without any extra ornament. In monochrome outfits, in shades of beige or charcoal for instance, the blue of the stone stands out immediately and lifts the whole look. At 2.1 g, the pendant sits light and doesn't weigh on the neck even after long wear, which makes it just as easy to wear at work as after hours.
