This turquoise bracelet plays with a calm, saturated blue that holds its own even under artificial light. The cabochon-cut stones come from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, and their colour sits even and uniform, without spots or discolouration - visible at first glance. The vintage character of the setting is underlined by the gently rounded edges of the links, which lead the eye along the entire wrist. The bracelet measures 18 cm, and an adjustable 2.5 cm extension lets you fit it to your wrist.

Silver and good stones are rising in price, and turquoise with such an even colour is becoming harder to find, so today's price for this bracelet seems reasonable. The rhodium coating on the silver protects it against tarnishing and scratches, so the metal keeps its shine for a long time without extra care. Underneath lies pure, refined sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel, the metal responsible for most skin allergies, so the bracelet does not irritate even sensitive skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which establishes the metal's origin and is registered with the assay office.

A summer linen dress in a light ecru or sand shade makes a natural backdrop for this turquoise - the cool blue stands out against the warm fabric and catches the eye with every movement of the wrist. A rolled-up sleeve on a white shirt reveals the bracelet along its full length, which flatters the vintage character of the links. In summer it works well against tanned skin, in winter against a light cotton or cashmere jumper. A turquoise bracelet looks best where the hand and wrist stay at the centre of attention.
