This necklace, a serpentine armature of rose gold with pavé diamonds, incorporates an elegant palette that is pure Hermès: apple-green prehnite cabochons, a pale blue-gray sapphire and pink, brown and blue tourmalines.

As a result, the collection privileges rose gold and diamonds, which Hardy chose for their ability to amplify natural radiance, as well as cabochons in nuanced, mutable tones: blue tourmaline, smoky quartz, greenish-yellow prehnite and cream moonstones.

Prehnite, pren′īt, n. a hydrous silicate of alumina and lime, usually of a pale-green colour.

In some exceptional cases, e.g. axinite, prehnite, &c., there is no apparent relation between the distribution of the pyro-electric charges and the symmetry of the crystals.

We also found some large tabular fragments, evidently portions of a vein consisting of prehnite, associated with calcareous spar, and native copper.
