A rose quartz pendant catches the eye at first glance - the cabochon, with its smooth, domed surface, holds a delicate, powdery pink deepening into a warmer, peachy hue at its core. As it moves, light glides across the stone and draws out a gentle glimmer, without any harsh flashes. The vintage-inspired setting lends the whole piece a soft, retro silhouette, and the pendant sits naturally on the décolletage, just below the neckline.

Before the stone was set, its colour and clarity were assessed - we choose only quartz with an even, saturated pink tone, free of cloudiness. Silver and good stones get more expensive year after year, so buying a pendant like this today remains a sound decision price-wise. The metal is pure, refined European sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives - it is the fineness mark that confirms the purity of this alloy. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the pendant needs less everyday cleaning and keeps its shine for a long time. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which denotes the silver's origin. Rose quartz has long been associated with love and tenderness, and in some jewellery traditions it was regarded as a symbol of harmonious relationships.

For everyday wear, it pairs well with a soft turtleneck sweater in light grey or ecru - the pink of the stone warms up a monochrome outfit without overwhelming it. It also suits a cotton shirt buttoned to the neck, where the shape of the pendant settles quietly against the décolletage. At 1.8 grams, it wears lightly all day long, whatever the season.
