Honey-gold and distinctly contemporary, this vermeil bracelet brings together eighteen cabochon ambers in a single, fluid line. Amber is fossilised tree resin, and each cabochon reveals its own shade - from pale honey to a deeper, warm amber - sending a streak of warm light through itself as the angle changes. In many cultures amber has been associated with solar warmth and success; here that symbolism takes on a modern, compact form.

The core of the bracelet is refined sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of at least 5 microns of 18-carat gold - it is the gold that touches the skin, not the silver. The 925 fineness confirms the purity of the alloy: free from nickel and harmful additives. The vermeil standard is attested by the V mark struck on the piece, and the French maker's mark on the piece certifies the origin of the silver. A set of eighteen cabochons with such consistent colour is rare - quality amber is rising in price, and this price remains reasonable.

The bracelet measures 18 cm with an adjustable 3 cm extender, so it sits securely on a range of wrists. It works best with a total black look: against a black top or roll-neck, the golden line of amber draws the eye like a point of light on a dark background. With a rolled-up sleeve in ecru, the amber cabochons warm the entire outfit. A graphite jacket cuff brings out a deeper, more saturated shade from them.
