Three moonstone cabochons sit along a wide, rhodium-plated 925 silver band with a distinctly vintage silhouette. The surface of each cabochon holds a cool inner glow that, as the wrist moves, reveals a blue flash - a phenomenon jewellers call adularescence. Craftsmen of old associated moonstone with intuition and inner awareness, and in meditative practices it was treated as a symbol of inner focus. The bracelet's very big, striking size and its weight of 18 grams give the piece the heft and solidity typical of old, sturdy designs.

All three stones were matched so that their colour and clarity fall into one calm, even line with no difference in tone - visible at first glance. Good-quality moonstones are becoming harder to find, and silver prices keep rising month on month, so buying one now makes sense. Refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, forms the base here, free of nickel and other irritating additives, which matters for sensitive skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine clear for years to come. The maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office, attests to the metal's origin.

The bracelet measures 17 centimetres, with an adjustable extension for a further 4 centimetres, so you can fit it comfortably to your wrist. It looks best on the sleeve of a linen shirt rolled up to mid-forearm, or on a bare hand paired with a simply cut cotton dress. The loose, natural fabric doesn't draw attention away from the stone - it's the stone that leads the eye with every gesture of the hand. In cooler months it pairs well with a thick cotton sweater, peeking out from under a rolled-back cuff.
