This jade pendant pairs the stone's raw, earthy colour with a simple, rhodium-plated setting in a vintage, boho spirit. The jade cabochon has a rich, deep green surface that, as it turns in your hand, reveals subtle flashes of light and fine, natural veining - proof that every piece is different. The very big form of the pendant sits well on the neckline, without getting lost in the folds of a collar or scarf.

Jade of this clarity of colour and distinctive pattern is hard to find today in this size - good specimens are becoming rarer, and silver and precious metals are getting more expensive, so this price makes sense right now. The stone is set in refined European silver, sterling silver 925, of high alloy purity, free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so the pendant can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. A rhodium layer protects the silver from blackening and dulling, keeping its shine bright for years. The silver carries a maker's mark struck into the metal, registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

At the office, it works well with a smooth shirt buttoned to the neck or a jacket in a muted, earthy shade - green jade stands out best against beige, khaki and charcoal. After hours, simply swap the shirt for a plain top with an open neckline to let the pendant take over as the main feature of the look. The large cabochon and the stone's raw character pair well with boho textures - linen, suede, braided straps.
