The Armills bracelet and  design

The design of this incredible piece of jewelry is encrusted with over 1,500 hand-picked, micorpave diamonds, which refers to a setting technique in which small diamonds are set in multiple rows over the entire surface of a piece of jewelry. These gems are hand-picked under a microscope and the bracelet is made from a solid 18k gold frame under a complex ceramic shield, which is the key element in the bracelet's design. Carbon fiber material such as that used in Formula 1 components, comprise the remaining body of this bracelet and render it strong yet lightweight.

The future of the Armills bracelet

This ultra expensive combination of diamonds and precious metals coupled with advanced engineering and hardware may well mark the beginnings of an elitist but nevertheless durable trend in the creation of fine jewelry. Although its prohibitive costs may well be suitable for a king's hefty purse, with the direction in which today's economy is headed, it might be more politically correct to say that the Armills men's bracelet is fit for anyone who can afford to buy a king.
