Two moonstone cabochons sit on a slim, rhodium-plated band with a clean, minimalist line. As you turn your wrist, a blue flash appears across the surface of the stone, shifting and fading depending on the angle of light - a phenomenon called adularescence, characteristic of moonstone. In many cultures it has been associated with intuition and peace of mind, which suits the quiet, restrained form of this bracelet well. The simple chain doesn't draw attention away from the stones - they're what lead the eye.

Each moonstone is assessed before being set, checked for clarity and the strength of its light reflex, so only stones with a clear play of light have made it into this bracelet. Silver and good-quality stones have been steadily rising in price in recent years, so a bracelet of this quality at this price is a sound choice today. Refined 925 silver of European quality is coated with a layer of rhodium, a hard metal that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, meaning the bracelet needs polishing less often. The alloy is free of nickel and other allergenic additives, so it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The piece is stamped with a maker's mark struck into the metal and registered with the French assay office, which attests to the origin of the silver.

The bracelet measures 17 cm and has an adjustable 4 cm extension, so you can fit it to a slimmer or fuller wrist. For the office, it works well with a smooth shirt peeking out from under a jacket sleeve - against muted, office-appropriate colours, the blue flash of the moonstone stands out even more. It also looks good with a simple sweater and a rolled-up cuff, where it stays in view with every movement of the hand.
