This vermeil bracelet with amethyst plays with shades of purple with every movement of the wrist. The faceted cut breaks light into small flashes that bring out the stone's deep purple, while the simple, slender chain never distracts from it. This is minimalism without unnecessary flourishes - the form stays in the background, the stone leads the eye. Amethyst has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, and today it is sometimes seen as a symbol of balance, so it works well as a gift for someone who appreciates that kind of quiet gesture.

Every stone in this collection was examined and selected individually, for colour purity and clarity - hence the exceptional quality at a price that remains reasonable. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, and good amethysts are becoming harder to find, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The core of the bracelet is refined silver 925 of European quality, coated with a layer of 18-carat gold in line with the vermeil standard - confirmed by the stamped V mark. It is gold, not silver, that touches the skin, and the alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives. The bracelet measures 18 cm, with an adjustable 4 cm extension, so you can fit it to your wrist with ease.

For the office it works well under the cuff of a smooth shirt, or with the wrist left bare when you push up your jacket sleeve - the purple of the amethyst pairs well with muted grey or navy. The same bracelet works in the evening too, paired with a simple short-sleeved black dress. At 3.6 g, you can wear it all day without feeling any weight on your hand. The V mark on the gold and the maker's mark registered with the French assay office confirm the origin of the metal in this small, precisely crafted piece.
