This pendant with two labradorites brings out a blue flash against the stone's dark, almost graphite background. The cabochon cut highlights the depth of the surface - as it moves, light travels across it in bands of cool blue and steel, as though the stone held its own hidden layer. The simple, minimalist form of the pendant does not distract from this effect, and its big size means it sits well on the neckline. Old Scandinavian jewellers linked labradorite with clarity of mind and self-confidence, treating it as a stone of inspiration.

Only a small share of the reviewed raw material makes it into the finished piece - what matters is the intensity and clarity of the reflection, and the rest is rejected during selection. Such selection and careful workmanship at this price are rare, since silver prices are rising and good labradorites are becoming harder to find. High-purity refined European silver is coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine despite everyday wear. The 925 fineness confirms the purity of this alloy, and the piece bears a maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office.

This pendant feels at home in weekend layering - under an open oversized sweater, against a simple scarf or a loose-cut shirt. Calm colours - grey, beige, deep navy - give the stone room to breathe, and it is the stone that catches the eye with every turn of the head. The neckline stays open and light, without excess accessories. In a understated styling, this blue flash becomes the strongest point of the whole look.
