Platinum plated cubic zirconia bracelet

What it is

A slim line of clear cubic zirconia from Martin James, each stone held in its own polished round bezel. Violet marquise-shaped stones break the run at intervals, checkerboard cut so they read as colour before sparkle. The effect is a bracelet that catches light in two registers rather than one.

Platinum plated, which is a surface finish rather than solid platinum, and we would rather say that than let the word do quiet work. A fold-over clasp closes it at one end; fold-over clasps sit flat, which suits a bracelet worn under a cuff. At the other end, a small open square tag.

Martin James is the maker. It comes in the maker's own box, so there is nothing to wrap and nothing to add.

For a birthday where you want something that reads as chosen rather than picked up, or for a bridesmaid who needs one piece and no decisions on the morning. The violet is what stops it being another clear-stone bracelet, so it suits someone who already wears those and would like a little colour without changing register.
