This blue topaz pendant sets the cool blue of the stone against the warmth of gold. Eleven faceted topazes align in an even, calm colour - the result of careful selection, where each stone holds the same hue and the same clarity. Tiny flashes of light appear within the facets, animating the surface of the stone with every movement. The form of the pendant is simple and classic, without unnecessary details to distract from the topaz itself.

The metal is vermeil - sterling silver 925 from European refining coated with a thick layer of 18-carat gold, which is the only part that touches the skin. Compliance with the standard is confirmed by the stamped V mark, while the maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office, attests to the origin of the metal. The alloy contains no allergenic additives, so the pendant can be worn without worry of irritation. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, and good stones are becoming scarcer, which is why this quality at this price makes sense right now. For this amount you get solid gold plating and a stone with an even, clear colour, which is far from a given in this segment.

The pendant pairs well with a lace blouse in powder pink or with a dress in a small, romantic print. With a sweetheart neckline, the blue of the topaz clearly draws the eye, contrasting with the pastel fabric. It can also be worn with a blouse featuring a delicate collar - in that case the stone sits precisely along the line of the neck. At 2.4 g, the pendant stays light and comfortable for everyday wear, and its classic form suits an afternoon meeting just as well as an evening out.
