Three lapis lazuli cabochons sit along the narrow silver line of a bracelet with a clean, minimalist form. The cabochon cut brings out the stone's deep, saturated navy colour and reveals fine, golden flecks of pyrite scattered across the surface, without exposing any cracks or cloudy patches. Jewellers of the past prized this stone for the intensity of its colour and associated it with intuition, harmony and idealism. The simple form of the setting doesn't draw attention away from that colour, so it's the colour that leads the eye.

A set of three stones with such a uniform, deep purplish-navy tone is hard to match today, as fine specimens of lapis lazuli are becoming increasingly rare. Silver and selected stones are getting more expensive year on year, so buying at this price makes sense today. The bracelet is made of refined European 925 silver, and the rhodium layer on its surface is hard and scratch-resistant, so the metal's shine doesn't dull over time. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for most contact allergies, so wearing this bracelet doesn't irritate the skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal.

On the wrist it works well with office outfits: under the cuff of a smooth shirt, by the sleeve of a simple blazer in cool grey or navy, where the navy stone matches the tone of the outfit. The bracelet is 18 centimetres long, and an adjustable 4-centimetre extension lets it be fitted to a slim wrist. The small size of the cabochons and the light weight - 3.4 grams - keep the piece light and unobtrusive during everyday hand movements at work.
