This lapis lazuli bracelet draws out the stone's deep, rich navy colour, threaded through with fine golden veins of pyrite. Small cabochons line up in a simple, minimalist row, and with every movement of the wrist those golden flecks shift across the dark surface like tiny sparks against a night sky. Ancient craftsmen from around the Mediterranean associated this stone with idealism, intuition and inner harmony. An adjustable 4 cm extension lets you fit the bracelet, 18 cm at its base length, to a narrow, delicate wrist.

Each stone is examined individually before it goes into the setting, since only a pure, deep colour free of lighter patches gives this effect. Silver and good-quality coloured stones get more expensive year on year, so a bracelet at this price is a sound choice today. The metal is pure, refined sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and harmful additives, which does not irritate the skin even with prolonged wear. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine bright and clear for years. The French maker's mark stamped on the piece attests to the metal's origin and to the care taken in its European craftsmanship.

It looks best worn in an all-black outfit - a black turtleneck or a simple long-sleeved top pushed back past the wrist provides the backdrop against which the navy of the lapis lazuli immediately draws the eye. It also works well with a shirt cuff peeking out from under a sweater, revealing just a narrow strip of stones. Thanks to its small size and weight of 5.0 g, the bracelet sits lightly on the hand and never gets in the way of everyday wear. This is jewelry for both the office and the evening, with no extra elements to distract from the colour of the stone.
