This moonstone bracelet draws the eye with a blue flash that shifts across the surface of the cabochons with every movement of the wrist. This is adularescence - a phenomenon characteristic of this stone, best seen in natural light. In old jewellery tradition, moonstone was associated with intuition and inner calm, and its cool, pale glow suits the modern, clean line of this bracelet well. The adjustable length of 18 cm with a 4 cm extension lets you fit it to wrists of different circumferences.

We chose the cabochons for this bracelet one by one, since a stone with such a distinct sheen is easy to overlook, and a match for it is hard to find afterwards. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year on year, so buying at this price today makes sense. The setting is refined European 925 silver plated with rhodium - this layer protects against tarnishing and scratches, so the bracelet needs cleaning less often. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for most allergies, so wearing it does not irritate the skin. The French maker's mark - a legally protected stamp registered at the assay office in France - attests to the origin of this silver.

In summer it looks great on a bare wrist, showing beneath the short sleeve of a linen dress in pale beige or ecru. A shirt cuff rolled up to mid-forearm reveals it just as well, and the cool flash of the moonstone brings a muted summer look to life. Weighing 6.2 g, the bracelet sits lightly on the wrist, not weighing down the hand even with extended wear. It also pairs well with a simple sleeveless top and flat sandals.
