A rose quartz cabochon opens up this pendant with a bright, warm hue that plays with a soft, pearly shimmer as the stone catches the light. Before it reaches the setting, every stone is examined under light and only those with even colour and a clear interior, free of clouding, are chosen. The simple, smooth setting keeps the focus on the stone itself - the line of silver stays narrow, leaving the rose quartz as the main feature of the piece. It is a modern shape, close to the minimalist jewellery worn today at the neckline.

For generations, rose quartz has been associated in jewellery craft with tenderness and harmonious relationships, which is why it is often chosen as a gift for someone close. The pendant is set in rhodium-plated, refined European silver 925 - the rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the shine stays bright for years to come. The alloy is pure, free of nickel and other allergenic additives, which matters for sensitive skin. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so buying at this price today seems like a sensible decision. The metal bears the maker's mark struck onto the silver, registered with the French assay office - it attests to the origin of the piece.

The pendant sits well on a shorter chain, close to the neckline, so it is worth revealing the neckline itself - under a pastel-toned silk scarf or beneath an open blouse collar. In spring, pair it beautifully with a pastel trench coat and a light-coloured handbag, where the warm hue of the quartz complements the whole look. Against a simple sweater in a neutral colour, the rose quartz draws the eye without any extra embellishment. This medium-sized cabochon, weighing 3.3 g, works just as well in the office as at a spring coffee meet-up.
