This turquoise bracelet brings a calm, saturated blue and a modern, geometric form to any look. Nine cabochon-cut turquoise stones sit in an even rhythm along the wrist, and with every movement of the hand their surface catches the light differently - sometimes darker, sometimes with a brighter flash. This is natural turquoise from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, known for its uniform, pure colour without discolouration or matrix veining.

Only a small part of the sorted raw material makes it into the bracelet - what matters is the even, deep colour of each of the nine stones. Good turquoise is becoming harder to source, and silver prices are rising, which makes buying now a reasonable choice price-wise. The stones are set in rhodium-plated silver: the rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the bracelet needs less everyday cleaning. Beneath the rhodium plating lies refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful metal additives, so the bracelet can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The piece bears the French maker's mark, establishing its origin, registered with the assay office in France. The bracelet measures 19 cm with an adjustable 4 cm extension, so it's easy to fit to any wrist size, and its weight of 12.7 g gives it a noticeable but not tiring presence on the arm.

It looks good for a meeting in the city: peeking out from under the sleeve of a trench coat, or on a wrist emerging from a turtleneck or a cool grey sweater. Neutral clothing colours - beige, charcoal, ecru - give the turquoise room to stand out, and it catches the eye with every gesture of the hand. Just push back the sleeve and the stone takes centre stage.
