Eight cabochons of black onyx line up in a rhythmic chain that brings out the stone's deep, matte black against the wrist. As the hand moves, each cabochon catches the light differently - one moment the smooth surface throws it back sharply, the next it fades into shadow, while the whole keeps a calm, even tone. The bracelet has a modern character: the simple line of the setting doesn't distract from the stone, it just lets the stone lead the eye. Onyx has long been associated with strength, endurance and confidence, which suits this bold, geometric form well.

Only a small part of the sorted raw material makes it into production - what counts is a deep, even black with no discoloration. Silver and good stones are rising in price, and onyx of this quality is getting harder to find, so this price makes sense today. The eight onyx stones are set in refined European silver 925, and a rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing, dulling and scratches, so the shine stays bright for years. The alloy is pure, free of nickel and other metals known to irritate skin, so this eight-onyx bracelet won't irritate the skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal. The bracelet measures 16.5 cm, and an adjustable 3 cm extension lets it be fitted to a larger wrist - this is a big, statement-making size.

For everyday wear it looks good with a rolled-up sleeve of a linen shirt or a loose-fit cotton sweater - the black of the onyx stands out against the light, natural fabric and draws the eye to the wrist. It also works with a simple t-shirt and baggy trousers, where the geometric form of the cabochons brings a bit of edge to a relaxed outfit. This is a bracelet made for everyday wear, not just special occasions.
