Dark and deep, this labradorite pendant set in enameled silver draws the eye straight to the neckline. The cabochon sits against a dark background, and when light hits it, a cool blue flash moves across the surface - sometimes steely, never greenish. In other cultures such a stone was linked to calm thinking and self-confidence, treated as a symbol of inner inspiration. The very big form and the loose, irregular shape of the setting fit well with boho jewelry, which favours scale and the natural character of the stone.

For this piece we chose a labradorite where depth of colour and clarity of structure mattered most - no cloudiness, with a clear flash. Good labradorites are getting harder to find these days, as nature itself limits their availability, and with silver and precious metal prices rising, a purchase like this makes sense from a price standpoint. The setting is refined European sterling silver 925 with hand-applied enamel, a pure alloy free of nickel and harmful additives that does not irritate the skin. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the silver.

In spring this pendant pairs well with a pastel trench coat and a silk scarf in a cool shade - the stone's blue flash then echoes the colour of the accessories. It also works with a loose linen shirt and a light-coloured bag, where the large cabochon becomes the natural focal point along the neckline. In the evening, a simple dark dress is enough to let the stone show its flash in full. The labradorite pendant works equally well as an everyday piece and for special occasions.
