Dark and intense, this labradorite pendant plays with a cool, blue flash that appears and disappears with the slightest turn of the head. The cabochon cut, polished into a smooth, domed form, shows off this play of light at its fullest - flickers of steely light cross its surface, while the navy background of the stone deepens the whole effect. The enameled silver setting has a loose, slightly raw silhouette close to boho style, with no unnecessary details to draw attention away from the stone. The pendant sits low, close to the neckline, where the dark labradorite gets the most room to shine.

For this piece we chose a stone with an especially clear, saturated background and a distinct flash - it was precisely this colour and clarity that decided its selection. Good labradorites are rising in price along with silver, and nature itself limits their availability, so buying at this price makes sense today. The enamel is applied by hand onto refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, and the piece is stamped with the French maker's mark establishing its origin, registered with the assay office in France. The alloy contains no nickel or other additives that cause skin irritation, so the pendant can be worn without worry. In old folk traditions, labradorite was associated with calm of mind and self-confidence, and some linked it with inspiration to take action.

In office styling, this pendant pairs well with a smooth shirt buttoned to the neck or a simply cut blazer - the collar reveals just enough of the neckline for the stone to stay the centre of attention. Muted colours, grey, navy, ecru, give the labradorite the most room to play with light. The loose, boho form of the setting softens the severity of formal wear without taking away its elegance. The big size of the stone keeps the pendant visible even under a jacket buttoned up high to the neck.
