The cool blue of the topaz gives this pendant a focused, clear presence at the neckline. The faceted stone scatters narrow flashes of light with every movement - it does not shout, but draws the eye through the precision of its cut. The pendant measures 2.5 cm and sits at the neck with the ease that only a truly simple form can give.

Every blue topaz is assessed before setting - colour saturation and clarity are what matter, without compromise. The availability of quality stones is limited by nature itself, and the prices of precious metals keep rising, so this price is particularly good value today. The pendant is made using the vermeil technique: a core of refined sterling silver 925 covered with a layer of 18-carat gold at least 5 microns thick - it is the gold that touches the skin, not the silver. Compliance with the standard is confirmed by the stamped V mark. The alloy is free from nickel and harmful additives, and will not irritate the skin. The French maker's mark - a legally protected stamp registered at the French assay office - guarantees the metal and its origin.

In summer, the pendant works well with a deeper neckline on a floaty viscose dress or against the collar of a linen shirt in off-white - the blue of the topaz brings life to light, summery fabrics without overwhelming them. The minimal form does not compete with the outfit, and the stone draws the eye exactly where you want it.
