If you are after a rainbow of colour, this vibrant 9ct gold Harlequin curb link bracelet certainly fits the bill. The bracelet has been claw set with an interesting grouping of natural and synthetic gemstones, dating it to the early 20th century, when the french chemist, Auguste Verneuil\u00a0 invented a way of\u00a0 manufacturing rubies and sapphires. Four of the stones in this line up were created using his process. The more interesting of them, a colour-change sapphire, is often described as a synthetic alexandrite, as it will look a violet blue in daylight and a deep crimson under the yellow glow of a tungsten bulb. However, hidden amongst these synthetic stones, is a beautiful pastel blue Ceylon sapphire, (a hidden gem, so to speak) measuring approximately 2.07 cts. This is a fun piece for everyday wear.<\/p>\n
