Three rubies in a cabochon cut draw the eye with a deep, saturated red tinged with purple - a colour long associated with courage and passion. Set in a silver mount with a distinctly vintage character, they form a composition on the wrist that is modest in form but bold in colour. The delicate bracelet measures 18 cm, and an adjustable extender of 4 cm allows it to fit a range of wrist sizes.

The even colour across all three cabochons is the result of careful selection - and it is precisely this kind of stone matching at this price point that makes the difference. Good rubies are becoming increasingly rare, so this quality-to-price ratio is worth noting. They are set in refined sterling silver 925, stamped with the French maker's mark confirming the metal's origin. Rhodium protects the surface against tarnishing and maintains a bright shine over time. The alloy is free from nickel and other sensitising additives - the bracelet does not irritate even sensitive skin.

For everyday wear it looks best paired with an oversized sweater in off-white or warm grey - a rolled-up sleeve reveals the wrist and lets the rubies speak against a calm background. It also works well with a chunky scarf and a simple shirt when the whole look is kept in a muted, autumnal palette. The vintage form of the bracelet suits a style where texture and colour matter more than the number of pieces worn.
