With only one colour to work with, the interest has to come from the cutting. Ovals and marquises alternate along this gold-plated tulip bracelet, rounded next to pointed, so the light behaves differently every few centimetres even though the pink never changes.

Single-colour bracelets are the ones that get worn most. There is no matching to think about and no clash to avoid, and a soft pink like this sits near neutral against most Indian skin tones.

The waved bar chain gives it flex without any obvious links, so it follows the wrist rather than standing away from it. A box clasp closes it flat.

Anti-tarnish plating is the difference between a bracelet that still looks new in the second year and one that does not. Plated brass without that base tends to go dull first at the underside, where the wrist rests against a desk all day. This one keeps its colour there too, which is the part nobody photographs and everybody sees.

Two things it does not have. There is no extension chain, so length matters, and there is no precious metal in it at any point.

Wear it with white, or on its own against bare skin in summer.
