Three blue topazes set in a row bring together a simple, minimalist form with the stone's cool, clear blue. The faceted cut breaks light into small glints without dulling the clarity of the topaz - each facet works on its own, and the overall effect stays calm, never overly bright. This is a small-scale bracelet, designed for a slender wrist, where fine links and three stones form a clear but understated line.

The topazes chosen for this piece share an even, saturated shade of blue - it was the stone's colour and clarity that determined which ones made it into this bracelet. Silver and other precious metals keep rising in price, and stones with such consistent colour are becoming harder to find, which keeps this bracelet at a reasonable price today. At its core is refined European sterling silver 925, and the stamped V mark confirms it is coated with a layer of 18-carat gold at least 5 microns thick - it is the gold, not the silver, that touches the skin. The 925 fineness itself attests to the purity of the alloy, free of nickel and harmful additives. Silver stamped with the French maker's mark completes the picture of a fully verified metal.

The bracelet measures 18 cm, with an adjustable 4 cm extension, so it is easy to fit to a narrow wrist. Day to day, it looks good under a rolled-up linen shirt sleeve or against the loose cuff of a cotton blouse - the blue of the topaz stands out against the natural, raw fabric. It also works well with a plain sweater and a pushed-up sleeve, where the fine links and topazes stay visible with every movement of the hand. This is jewelry to wear without occasion, close to the skin, in step with everyday gestures.
