Understated and distinctly minimalist, this wrist bracelet pairs raw rhodium-plated silver with the warmth of three tiger's eye stones. This variety of quartz has a silky sheen known as the cat's eye effect - as the wrist turns, a band of light glides across the stone's surface, shifting from honey to deep brown. The faceted cut further breaks the light into fine planes, so every movement of the wrist reveals a new flash of colour. In old craft traditions, tiger's eye was associated with stability and the body's capacity to heal - today it stands above all as a stone with a bold, warm character.

Before a stone is set, each one is assessed for colour and the clarity of its band - what matters is a distinct, unbroken flash, not a random blotch. Such careful selection at a reasonable price is a rarity today, since good stones rise in price along with silver. The bracelet is set in pure, refined sterling silver 925, and a layer of rhodium protects its surface from tarnishing and losing its shine for years to come. The alloy, free of nickel and other harmful additives, does not irritate the skin even with long wear. The silver, stamped with the French maker's mark, attests to the metal's origin. The bracelet measures 18 centimetres in length, and an adjustable 4-centimetre extension chain lets you fit it to your wrist.

This is a bracelet for an evening out - worn with the little black dress or a silk blouse with a long sleeve rolled up to the elbow, where the bared wrist becomes a natural spot for jewellery. Against a simple, dark cuff, the tiger's eye stone draws the eye through colour alone, with no need for further adornment on the hand. The metallic sheen of the rhodium-plated silver also pairs well with gold jewellery, if you prefer to mix metals. At 5.7 grams, the bracelet sits light on the wrist and never gets in the way of hand movement through a full evening.
