Lapis lazuli cabochons line up along the wrist in a row of deep, cool navy. In some stones you can spot fine golden flecks that bring the dark colour to life and give it character with every movement of the hand. The smooth cabochon cut shows off this colour without unnecessary faceting, and the rhodium silver setting stays simple and modern, with no embellishments to distract from the stone. In ancient cultures lapis lazuli was linked to idealism, intuition and inner harmony.

The bracelet features stones of even, deep colour, since this selection best shows off the character of lapis lazuli. Silver and good-quality stones get more expensive year after year, so a bracelet at this price is a sensible choice today. Rhodium plating protects the silver from tarnishing and losing its shine, so the navy of the stones stays in contrast with the bright metal for a long time. Refined European silver is a pure sterling silver 925 alloy, free of nickel and other harmful additives, so the bracelet won't irritate the skin even with prolonged wear. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the metal. The bracelet measures 18 cm, and an adjustable 4 cm extension lets you fit it to a wider or narrower wrist.

For a meeting in town it works well with a trench coat and a roll-neck in neutral grey or beige - the navy of the stones stands out clearly against muted tones and catches the eye as it peeks out from under a cuff. It also suits a plain, light-coloured shirt with rolled-up sleeves, where the lapis lazuli cabochons remain the only touch of colour. The modern form and deep colour of the stone work well both by day and in the evening, for a slightly more elegant look.
