The faceted aquamarine opens up with light in a cool, watery blue - depending on the angle, you catch brighter glints or a deeper, calm depth of colour. The simple, slender bail in rhodium-plated 925 silver doesn't draw attention away from the stone, so the pendant keeps its minimalist, classic character. The stone is set low, so it sits naturally in the neckline and plays with the light with every turn of the head.

For this piece we chose an aquamarine with a pure, even colour, free of the cloudiness that would diminish its beauty. Silver and good coloured stones are steadily rising in price, so buying a pendant like this today remains a sound decision. The rhodium layer protects the silver from tarnishing and scratches, so the pendant keeps its shine for a long time and needs very little care. Underneath is pure, refined sterling silver 925 in European-quality craftsmanship, and the silver itself is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the metal's origin.

Aquamarine feels at home alongside romantic, delicate fabrics. A lace blouse in powder pink or a dress in pastel blue lets the stone draw the eye along the neckline. It also works well with a light-coloured sweater with a delicate lace collar, where the stone's cool blue brings life to a muted, powdery palette. The pendant weighs just 2.4 grams, so it wears lightly all day long, from morning coffee to evening plans.
