Gradient Moissanite Bracelet, Adjustable 14 to 22cm

A gradient line reads differently to a uniform one. The stones step up in size toward the centre of the wrist and taper away at the clasp, which means the brightest point sits exactly where the light hits when you move your hand. It is a small design decision that makes a thin bracelet look considered rather than plain. Graduated stones also mean the chain can stay light, because the largest weight sits only where it is needed.

Every stone is round brilliant cut moissanite, the cut that returns the most light for its size. At this scale the effect is a continuous shimmer rather than individual flashes, which is why this style layers so well with a watch and does not fight with it. Moissanite has a refractive index of about 2.65 and a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, which is why a bracelet that is knocked on desks and door handles keeps its shine.

The band adjusts anywhere from 14 to 22cm, so it fits a slim wrist as a close fitting line or a larger wrist with comfortable movement. That range also makes it a safe gift when you do not know someone's exact measurement. It is built on solid S925 sterling silver and plated in 18k gold, silver or rose gold. The 18k plating is a thin finish over the silver, so it lasts longest if the bracelet comes off for swimming, washing up and sleeping.
