Delicate and distinctly minimalist, this bracelet with two blue topaz cabochons draws the eye to the calm blue of the stones. With every movement of the hand, the cabochons catch the light differently - at one moment a deeper, cool blue, at another a brighter flash that brings the whole composition to life. Both blue topaz stones play their colour evenly, as they were matched for consistency of shade - and it is precisely that coherence that makes an impression on the wrist.

The bracelet is made from refined European sterling silver 925, rhodium-plated with a hard layer that effectively resists scratching and maintains a bright shine for years. The alloy is free from sensitising metal additives, so sensitive skin has no cause for concern. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the silver. Two carefully matched blue topaz stones of this quality at this price is a purchase that is hard to repeat - good stones are becoming ever rarer and more expensive.

The bracelet measures 18 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extender, so it sits comfortably on a range of wrists. Its romantic character means it pairs beautifully with a lace blouse or a dress with a small floral print - the blue of the topaz sharpens pastels and off-whites. At the cuff of a striped shirt or with a fine-knit jumper in a light shade, the bracelet stays understated but makes its presence clearly felt.
