Deep violet plays across three faceted amethysts set on a slim, rhodium-plated bracelet with a minimalist line. Each facet catches the light differently - one moment flashing dark purple, the next revealing a brighter glint deep within the stone. A matched set of three amethysts this close in colour and clarity is easy to overlook, and finding another set as well matched can be difficult. The bracelet's form has been pared down to the essential minimum, so the stones lead the eye without unnecessary embellishment.

The amethysts were hand-picked for their saturated colour and clarity, and with silver prices rising and good stones of this calibre growing scarcer, a set like this at a reasonable price is worth considering now. Refined silver of European quality has been coated with a layer of rhodium, which protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the bracelet doesn't need frequent cleaning. The 925 fineness confirms the purity of the alloy, and the French maker's mark on the metal attests its origin. In traditional jewellery craft, amethyst was linked to calm and clarity of mind, a symbol of inner balance.

The bracelet measures 19 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extension, so you can easily fit it to your wrist. It looks great peeking out from under the sleeve of a white shirt, especially paired with a raw leather jacket and jeans - the violet of the amethysts brings life to an otherwise muted, urban look. It can also be worn on its own, so that every gesture of the hand catches the faceted sparkle of the stones. This is a bracelet for everyday wear, one you can just as easily pair with a watch on the other wrist.
