This minimalist bracelet pairs rhodium-plated 925 silver with three faceted blue topazes. The facets catch the light with every movement of the wrist and reflect it in a cool, clear blue, with no trace of cloudiness. The narrow links and small settings keep the construction understated - what matters is the colour of the stone itself, visible even from a distance. The bracelet measures 18 cm and has an adjustable 4 cm extension, so it can be fitted to a slim or fuller wrist.

Only a narrow selection of topazes makes it into this bracelet, chosen for colour and clarity, while the rest of the raw material is set aside. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year after year, so maintaining this quality at a reasonable price becomes increasingly difficult. The metal is refined European silver, sterling silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches - less cleaning, longer-lasting shine. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so the bracelet can be worn every day without irritation. The French maker's mark on the clasp attests to the origin of the metal.

This bracelet looks best in the evening, with a little black dress with short sleeves or a silk blouse with a rolled-up cuff - the bare wrist then stays at the centre of attention. The cool blue of the topaz draws the eye more than extra rings or a watch, so it's worth keeping the rest of the jewellery to a minimum. At 3.9 g, the bracelet sits light on the skin and doesn't get in the way of hand movement throughout the evening. This is a bracelet for occasions where simple form and clear stone colour are what matter.
