This garnet pendant brings a note of deep, saturated colour to a classic look. Eleven faceted garnets form a tight composition that reveals a new glint of deep purple with every movement. This shade has long been associated with strength and passion, and the facets cut the light into small, shimmering points. The simple rhodium-plated setting doesn't draw attention away from the stone - the whole piece keeps a calm, classic outline.

Garnets of this quality, with such even, deep colour and clarity, are easy to overlook and hard to replace with another of similar character. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year on year, so buying this quality at this price makes sense today. At this price you get a stone chosen with care and solid metalwork, with no compromises on the setting. The pendant is made of refined silver 925 of European quality, and a rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and dulling, so the shine lasts a long time. The alloy is pure, free of nickel and other harmful additives, so it doesn't irritate the skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, registered at the assay office, which attests the metal's origin.

Deep purple pairs well with a smooth shirt and blazer in an office look - the collar and neckline are the natural spot where the stone catches the eye. Muted colours, charcoal, navy or cool grey, are its best backdrop. The medium-sized pendant, weighing 2.4 g, wears light, and its classic form stays relevant season after season.
