Steel-blue flashes against a dark backdrop - that's how labradorite performs in this bracelet as your hand changes position. Ten cabochons line up in a regular row on a rhodium silver band with a clean, modern line. As the wrist turns, the flash appears and fades, as if the stone chose the exact moment to catch the eye. Early craftsmen linked this stone to calm thinking and self-confidence, treating it as a symbol of inner balance.

Each of the ten labradorites was chosen for depth of colour and clarity - these are what decide whether the blue flash reads as bold or muted, and in this piece it comes through strong and clear. Silver and good stones get more expensive year after year, so a bracelet of this quality and price is a sound choice today. The rhodium coating protects the silver from tarnishing and dulling, keeping the shine clear for years to come. Underneath lies refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, free of nickel and other harmful metal traces, so wearing it doesn't irritate the skin. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal.

The bracelet measures 18 centimetres, and an adjustable 3-centimetre extension lets you fit it to the wrist. Its place is in office styling: under the cuff of a smooth shirt, alongside a plain jacket in cool grey or navy. A sleeve rolled up to mid-forearm reveals the stone in motion as you write or shake hands in a meeting. Against understated dress, it's the blue flash of the labradorite that draws the eye.
