The cool blue of seven aquamarines comes together in a pendant with a distinctly retro character. Each stone was assessed for colour and clarity before being set in silver, which is why the whole piece keeps a calm, uniform tone. The faceted cut catches the light with every turn of the head, and as the pendant turns, the blue shifts in intensity, moving from a cool grey to a deeper, saturated shade of sea water. The simple, delicate form nods to vintage jewelry, where the stone matters more than ornament.

Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, and aquamarines of such a pure colour are becoming increasingly rare, so this piece at a reasonable price is worth considering now. The pendant is set in rhodium-plated 925 silver, which gives a bright, lasting shine for years to come and protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches. The metal is pure, refined sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The silver bears the French maker's mark, confirming the metal's origin and quality.

The pendant sits at the neckline, so it works well for a meeting in the city - under a cool beige turtleneck, under a trench coat, and alongside neutral, earthy colours. The aquamarine draws the eye against a muted wardrobe, bringing it to life with a cool flash of blue. At 1.2 g, it wears lightly all day, from morning coffee to an evening out. This piece also pairs well with a fine chain or earrings of a similarly classic line.
