Jewel of the day: State Property Idris Bangle Bracelet

This bracelet, available for pre-order from State Property, is dubbed the Idris. But it is not named for actor Idris Elba. Instead,”The Idris Bangle is a glistening halo of gold punctuated by bands of diamonds, giving it just the right amount of sparkle.

This bangle is named after Abu Abdullah Muhammad al-Idrisi al-Qurtubi al-Hasani as-Sabti, or simply al-Idrisi. Al-Idrisi was a Moroccan Arab Muslim geographer, cartographer and Egyptologist who for some time lived in Palermo, Sicily at the court of King Roger II. Muhammed al-Idrisi was born in Ceuta then belonging to the Almoravids. He created the Tabula Rogeriana, one of the most advanced medieval world maps.”

It’s crafted with 18k yellow gold and 1.03 carats of white diamonds, and sells for USD$7,800.
