Gold Plated Clover Bracelet with Engraved Petals

Gold split two ways along one chain: the engraved clovers break the light into fine rays every time the wrist moves, and the plain ones between them stay a flat, steady warm gold.

Made from 925 sterling silver under a layer of 18K gold.

The silver underneath is nickel-free, lead-free and cadmium-free to European standards — hypoallergenic, and comfortable against sensitive skin.

Gold at this scale does its best work against bare forearms in summer and against a dark sleeve pushed back in February, and very little in between asks anything of it. If the single-clover gold bracelet is already on that wrist, the two wear together without argument — one chain busy the whole way round, one with a single motif at the front. The spring ring is small enough to disappear behind the wrist once it is on. It arrives in a free jewellery box with a polishing cloth.
