This wrist bracelet lines up ten black onyx cabochons in a cohesive, modern row. Each stone carries a different depth of black, and as the wrist turns, the surface of the cabochons catches the light in short, single flashes that shift with the movement of the hand. In traditional jewelry craft, onyx was associated with strength, endurance and confidence - that association still gives this bracelet a character suited to everyday wear, not just special occasions.

Each onyx was chosen for the depth of its colour and the clarity of its surface - stones this refined are hard to find at this price point. Silver and good stones are steadily rising in price, so sourcing this quality at a reasonable price makes real sense today. The setting is refined European 925 silver, rhodium-plated with a layer that protects it from tarnishing and dulling, so the shine lasts through daily wear. A pure alloy free of nickel and other metals known to cause irritation means the bracelet is gentle even on sensitive skin. The French maker's mark - a guarantee of the quality and origin of the precious metal - confirms where the silver used in this piece comes from.

The bracelet is 17 centimetres long with an adjustable 4-centimetre extension, so you can fit it to your wrist. It looks best on the cuff of a soft knit jumper, or peeking out from under a loose shirt sleeve rolled up to mid-forearm. In monochrome outfits - grey, beige, black - the onyx draws the eye and pulls the whole look together. It also works well on a hand with a simple ring, when the rest of the jewellery stays minimal.
