A bracelet with a sapphire brings a vintage silhouette together with a deep, saturated blue that reveals new flashes of light with every movement of the wrist. The faceted cut catches light from different angles - the colour of the stone deepens or brightens depending on how the light falls. The delicate form, sized to 18 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extender, sits securely at the cuff and holds its own on slimmer wrists.

Every sapphire is assessed for colour and clarity before it goes into the setting - it is precisely this selection that determines the intensity of the blue. Good sapphires are becoming increasingly rare, so this level of quality at a sensible price is a decision worth making sooner rather than later. It is set in refined European sterling silver 925 - an alloy free from harmful metal additives that will not irritate the skin. Rhodium maintains a bright shine for years and protects the surface against tarnishing. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark, attesting to the origin of the silver.

For everyday wear, the bracelet works well with urban casual: the narrow sleeve of a white shirt or the cuff of a denim jacket makes a natural backdrop for the sapphire blue. Against a black leather jacket, the contrast between the cool stone and the raw material is striking. The vintage character of the design means the bracelet suits both clean, contemporary looks and outfits with a retro accent.
