This bracelet with nine labradorites plays across the wrist with a blue, at times steely flash that surfaces from the stone's dark surface with every movement of the hand. The cabochon cut gives the stones a smooth, slightly domed surface, so light glides over them instead of scattering. The big, modern shape of the links sits well on the wrist and shows beneath a loose sleeve or shirt cuff. Labradorite has long been associated with calm thinking and self-confidence, and has also been regarded as a stone of inspiration.

The nine stones in this bracelet were chosen so that the colour and intensity of the flash run evenly along the whole length, with no random pieces that are lighter or duller than the rest. Silver and good labradorite are getting more expensive year after year, so a bracelet of this price and this quality of workmanship is a sensible choice today. Refined silver of European quality is coated with a layer of rhodium, a hard metal that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts a long time. The 925 fineness confirms the purity of the alloy, and the piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which denotes the origin of the silver. The bracelet measures 19 cm, and with the adjustable 4 cm extension you can fit it to your wrist size.

This piece feels at home in weekend layering: an oversized sweater, a shawl draped over the shoulders and a calm palette of beige, grey or deep green. A sleeve rolled up to the elbow reveals the stones and lets the blue flash play with every gesture of the hand. The bracelet also works with a simple shirt with rolled-up cuffs, where the cool shimmer of the labradorite contrasts with the warm texture of the fabric. This is a piece for days when the whole outfit is meant to stay understated, and just one detail is meant to catch the eye.
