The intense, saturated green of the emerald gives this bracelet a distinctly vintage character - a small piece that catches the eye at first glance. The faceted stone captures light and sends it deep into the colour, creating flashes of varying intensity depending on the angle. The bracelet measures 18 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extension, so it sits comfortably on the wrist regardless of its circumference.

The choice of this particular piece came down to colour and clarity - a deep, even green free of discolouration, which sets it apart from average specimens. Sterling silver has risen in price, and truly fine emeralds are becoming increasingly rare, so this price is exceptionally reasonable. The metal is refined European sterling silver 925 - the 925 fineness confirms the purity of an alloy free from nickel and harmful impurities. Rhodium applied to the surface protects against tarnishing and dulling, which means less cleaning day to day. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark registered at the French assay office.

In the evening, the bracelet works beautifully with a little black dress or a silk gown - the deep green of the emerald contrasts with dark fabrics and draws attention to the hand. At a satin shirt cuff or on a bare wrist in summer outfits, this small piece is accent enough on its own. The faceted stone performs best in artificial light, where the green of the emerald takes on additional depth.
