Deep navy lapis lazuli with fine, golden flecks of pyrite catches the eye at first glance. Five cabochons line up in an even row on a bracelet with a modern, geometric form. With every movement of the hand, the navy of the stone shifts in depth, and the golden veins catch the light differently than a moment before. In ancient cultures lapis lazuli was linked to intuition and inner harmony, and its colour was regarded as a symbol of idealism. The simple, understated setting doesn't draw attention away from the stone. It is the stone that leads the whole composition.

Each of the five stones was chosen so that the colour and intensity stay even across the whole row, giving the bracelet the look of one cohesive piece rather than a set of random specimens. Good-quality stones of this class, as well as silver, get more expensive year after year, so buying at this price today makes sense. Refined silver of European quality has been coated with a layer of rhodium, which is hard and scratch-resistant, so the metal's shine doesn't dull over time. The 925 hallmark confirms the purity of the alloy, and the French maker's mark on the bracelet confirms the origin of the metal. The bracelet measures 18 centimetres and has an adjustable 3-centimetre extension, so you can fit it to wrists of different sizes.

In spring it looks great peeking out from under the sleeve of a pastel trench coat. Just roll up the cuff to let the navy of the lapis lazuli stand out against the light fabric. It also pairs well with a silk scarf in a similar shade of blue and a light-coloured handbag in hand. The bracelet's modern, geometric form doesn't compete with the stone. It highlights its intense colour with every movement of the hand.
