This vintage bracelet brings seven cabochon-cut rose quartz stones to the wrist, set in a distinct, dense row. Each cabochon catches the light differently - in one spot you see a rich, warm pink glow, in another the stone deepens and gains depth without losing its clarity. The retro silhouette of the setting and the very big scale of the stones give a shape that looks bold on the wrist while keeping a feminine, delicate character. Rose quartz has long been associated with love and tenderness, which is why bracelets set with this stone often become a gift for someone close.

Each of the seven stones is chosen for purity of colour, which is why a set of seven equally saturated cabochons like this is easy to overlook, and a second, equally well-matched piece is hard to find afterwards. Silver and good stones rise in price year after year, so buying this bracelet today remains a sound decision price-wise. At this price you get a set of seven carefully matched quartzes in a solid, rhodium-plated setting, a combination that rarely comes together. Rhodium plating protects the silver against tarnishing and scratches, so the bracelet needs less cleaning and keeps its shine for longer. The setting is made of refined European sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other additives that irritate the skin, so the metal can be worn without worry about skin reactions. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark establishing its origin, registered with the assay office in France.

The bracelet measures 18 cm and has an adjustable 4 cm extension, so you can fit it to your wrist under the sleeve of a sweater or a trench coat. It comes into its own for a meeting in the city: a turtleneck and neutral grey give it a backdrop, while the trench coat's cuff reveals the stones with every movement of the hand. The very big scale of the cabochons means the pink of the quartz catches the eye even in a muted, autumnal outfit. This is a bracelet you feel on the wrist - its weight of 18 g gives it character without being excessive.
