Seven black onyx cabochons line up in a row on a wide, rhodium-plated band, giving the piece a distinctly modern, assertive look. The deep black of the onyx doesn't catch the light at a single point - as the wrist turns, the individual cabochons lighten and darken in turn, as if the bracelet had a rhythm of its own. Craftsmen have long associated this stone with strength, resilience and self-assurance, which makes it a fitting gift with a clear message behind it. The big size and the adjustable 4 cm extension on the base 20 cm length let the bracelet be fitted to different wrists.

Each of the seven onyxes was inspected individually and chosen for a uniform, deep black free of discolouration, which is rare at this price point. Silver and quality stones are steadily rising in price, so a bracelet of this workmanship at a reasonable price is a sound purchase today. Refined 925 silver of European quality is coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine clear and bright for years. The alloy contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so it doesn't irritate the skin even with everyday wear. The French maker's mark on the piece attests to the origin of the silver.

Day to day, the bracelet looks good with the rolled-up sleeve of a linen shirt or a loose cotton blouse - the black of the onyx stands out clearly against light, natural fabric. It also works with a simple short-sleeved sweater, when the hand and wrist are left bare. The big form suits a casual, understated style, where a single strong detail on the hand is what counts. Seven onyxes set in rhodium-plated silver then become the first thing that catches the eye.
