Five faceted peridots come together in a pendant with a distinctly bohemian character, with a hint of vintage in the very line of the setting. The cut opens up the stone's deep green colour and lets light pass through every facet, so the shade shifts in intensity with every movement. The very big, striking pendant shape, measuring 3.0 cm in length, sits beautifully on the neckline and catches the eye before the rest of the outfit is even noticed.

Each peridot was individually inspected and selected for clarity and colour saturation, which, given today's steadily rising prices of good natural stones, makes this purchase a sensible decision. The pendant is made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, and this fineness confirms the purity of the alloy and the absence of nickel and other harmful additives. A rhodium layer adds scratch resistance to the surface and protects it from tarnishing, so the shine lasts longer. The metal bears a maker's mark establishing the origin of the piece, registered with the French assay office.

In spring, this pendant pairs well with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf tied loosely under the collar - the green peridot brings life to the coat's muted palette. A light-coloured handbag and understated jewellery complete the look without overloading it. The boho-vintage character of the pendant also works well with a simple top with an open neckline, where the shape of the pendant and the play of light in its facets remain fully visible. This is jewellery that likes room around the neckline.
