The moonstone in this pendant plays with a blue flash that appears and fades with every turn of the head. The faceted cut breaks the surface into tiny planes, so light doesn't just glide over the stone but bends within it and returns as a cool glimmer. Two cubic zirconia stones set beside the moonstone add a discreet sparkle without taking away its starring role. In old traditions, moonstone was linked to intuition and inner calm, which today makes it a popular choice as a gift.

A stone like this is chosen one at a time, held up to the light until you find a piece with a clear, well-defined flash - and that's exactly the kind that went into this pendant, at a price that matches its quality. Good moonstones are getting harder to find, and silver is rising in price along with other precious metals, so today's price for this pendant makes sense. The setting is made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps its shine for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The French maker's mark on the pendant guarantees the quality and origin of the precious metal.

The pendant pairs well with a romantic look - a lace blouse in powder pink or a pastel sweater with an open neckline, where the chain falls freely along the line of the neck. The cool glimmer of the moonstone contrasts with warm, delicate fabrics and draws the eye without the need for extra adornment. Its modern, understated form means the pendant works just as well with a summer dress as with a wool wrap in winter. At a medium size and a weight of 2.0 grams, it wears light, and the moonstone stays at the centre of attention all day long.
