This moonstone pendant pairs a modern, understated setting with a stone that shows exceptionally lively play of light. The cabochon set in silver reveals a distinctive blue flash that shifts across the surface with every turn of the head. In older traditions, moonstone was associated with intuition and inner awareness, which makes it a popular choice as a gift. The pendant's big form shows off this play of light well, and the loosely draped silhouette stays light despite its 2.9 grams of silver.

For this piece we chose a stone with a clear, pure flash and even colour, since these are what determine its exceptional quality at a reasonable price. Silver and good-quality moonstones are rising in price, so buying at this price makes sense today. The pendant is made from pure, refined sterling silver 925, sourced and refined in Europe, free of nickel and other harmful additives, meaning it does not cause allergies or skin irritation. A rhodium coating protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts long without frequent cleaning. The French maker's mark stamped on the piece attests the origin of the metal.

At the neckline it works best in a total-black outfit - a black polo neck or a loose blouse with a simple neckline creates a backdrop against which the stone's blue flash draws the eye. The pendant also pairs well with a dark coat in winter, when the bare neck becomes the only place jewellery appears. Its simple, modern form makes it suit both an evening look and everyday, understated dressing with minimal accessories.
