This rhodium-plated bracelet brings out the deep blue of seven lapis lazuli stones, set in a row across the wrist. The cabochon cut flattens the surface of each stone and reveals fine flecks of golden pyrite against a dark, saturated navy hue. In traditional craft, this stone was associated with intuition, idealism and harmony. The bracelet's form is simple and modern, without unnecessary embellishment, so it's the stones themselves that draw the eye.

Lapis lazuli pieces like these, deep in colour and free of visible discolouration, are becoming harder to find and easy to overlook when searching for something that looks similar at first glance. Silver and good stones are steadily rising in price, so buying at this price today makes sense. The bracelet is made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, and a layer of rhodium protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, meaning less polishing than with ordinary silver. The 925 fineness confirms the purity of the alloy, free of nickel and other additives that could irritate the skin. The piece is finished with silver stamped with the French maker's mark, attesting to the metal's origin. The big size and weight of 23 g give the bracelet a noticeable but not overstated presence on the wrist, while its 20-centimetre length with an adjustable 4-centimetre extension allows it to be fitted to different wrist sizes.

In summer it looks great on a bare wrist paired with a light beige or broken-white linen dress - the blue of the lapis lazuli brings life to that calm, natural palette. It also works well under a rolled-up linen shirt sleeve, where only a glimpse of the stones peeks through. It can be worn alone, without additional rings or necklaces, to keep all the attention on its cool navy colour. This is a bracelet that feels equally at home on a walk or at an evening gathering styled with something light and summery.
