deep amethyst purple leads the whole composition here, and the faceted cut breaks the colour into small flickers of light with every movement of the hand. the vintage form of the bracelet, with small, delicate links, recalls jewelry-making from decades past, yet wears light and contemporary. in old symbolism amethyst was linked with calm and clarity of mind, which suits jewelry worn close to the hand every day well.

such a shade of purple, dense and saturated without the slightest cloudiness, is easy to overlook among stones of average clarity, and a second piece of similar depth is hard to match later. silver prices are rising, and good amethysts are getting harder to find, so buying such a bracelet today makes sense price-wise. the facets are set in rhodium-plated 925 silver, hard and scratch-resistant, so the shine stays bright for a long time without cleaning or polishing. refined European silver, sterling silver 925, forms an alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives, so the bracelet does not irritate the skin even with everyday wear. the silver, stamped with the French maker's mark, attests to the metal's origin.

the bracelet is 18 centimetres long, and an adjustable 4-centimetre extension lets it be fitted to wrists of different sizes. styling-wise, it pairs well with a lace blouse or a dress in a small, romantic pattern - a 3/4 sleeve then reveals the wrist and the purple facets. a pastel sweater or a light coat with a delicate cuff is just as natural a backdrop for this colour. at 2.5 grams the bracelet stays almost unnoticeable on the hand, while the amethyst draws the eye with every gesture.
