This minimalist bracelet with a small faceted labradorite catches the light at several points at once, each facet revealing a different shade of dark, blue glow. That cool, steel-like flash appears and fades with every movement of the wrist, so the stone looks different in daylight than in the evening. Jewellers of earlier eras associated labradorite with calm of mind and self-belief, treating it as a stone of inspiration. The bracelet's simple, narrow form doesn't distract from this play of light - it's what draws the eye.

Every labradorite in this collection was inspected and selected individually for the depth and clarity of its reflection, so at this price you get a stone of genuinely good quality. Silver and precious metals keep rising in price, and good labradorites are becoming scarcer, so buying this bracelet now makes sense price-wise. Refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, is set in a rhodium layer that protects against tarnishing and scratches, so the bracelet needs less everyday cleaning. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for allergic reactions, so wearing it doesn't irritate the skin. The French maker's mark on the piece attests to the origin of the silver.

The bracelet measures 18 cm, and an adjustable 4 cm extension lets you fit it to a narrower or wider wrist. In the evening it pairs well with a little black dress and a 3/4 sleeve that reveals the hand and wrist - that's when the stone's blue flash stands out most strongly against silk. With a cuffed shirt, its presence alone on the wrist is enough, without extra rings or bracelets. At 3.6 g it wears light, and its small size means it doesn't get in the way of everyday movements.
