The emerald in this pendant draws the eye with the depth of its saturated green, which the faceted cut breaks into dozens of small reflections. Each facet reveals a different shade - from deep bottle green to cooler, almost aquamarine flashes as the angle of light changes. The understated setting recedes into the background, and the pendant, 2.5 cm in length, holds proportions that work equally well with a deep neckline or a closed collar.

An emerald of this colour and clarity rarely comes along twice. Refined sterling silver 925 provides a clean backdrop free from nickel and harmful additives, so the piece causes no allergic reactions. Rhodium applied to the surface protects the metal against tarnishing and dulling, which in practice means less cleaning and a longer-lasting shine. The pendant is signed with the French maker's mark - a guarantee of quality and the origin of the precious metal. With the price of quality emeralds rising, this level of quality at this price point represents a fair deal.

In spring, the pendant works well with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf in a cream shade - the green stone stands out against light fabrics without the need for additional accessories. In summer it looks great with a white linen shirt or a dress with a deeper neckline, where the facets catch natural light. A light-coloured bag and simple gold earrings complete the look in the spirit of effortless French style.
