The intense, grassy green of peridot pairs with the clean lines of this pendant in a way that draws the eye without any unnecessary flourish. The faceted cut doesn't hide the colour - it breaks it into small flashes that shift with every movement. At 2.5 cm long, this pendant sits in that zone between understated and expressive, where the form doesn't compete with the stone.

Peridot with such a pure, saturated colour rarely comes around twice at the same price - each piece is a find. Sterling silver 925 has been rising in price, so buying today is the sensible choice. The pendant is made from refined European sterling silver 925 - this fineness confirms the purity of an alloy free from nickel and harmful additives. Rhodium applied to the surface protects the silver from tarnishing and maintains a bright shine. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark.

For everyday wear, the pendant works well at the neckline of a soft knit jumper - the green of the peridot brings life to ecru and off-white as much as to deep graphite in monochromatic combinations. With a roll-neck or a collared shirt, the stone sits exactly where the eye naturally rests. It's a simple form that needs no company - one jumper and this pendant is enough.
