A lapis lazuli cabochon brings a deep, saturated navy hue to this ring, threaded through with golden flecks of pyrite. Turn your hand and those small sparks disappear and resurface, as if the stone shifted shade with every gesture. Small and delicate, this solitaire and promise ring carries a loose, boho character - simple in form, yet striking through the colour of the stone.

A lapis lazuli of this quality, with such an even, deep colour and pronounced pyrite veining, is easy to overlook among stones with a flatter, more uniform tone - finding another with a similar character isn't easy. Silver and good coloured stones rise in price year after year, so buying now makes sense from a value standpoint. The stone is set in refined European silver 925, further protected with a layer of rhodium - a hard, scratch-resistant metal that keeps the ring's shine from fading after months of wear. The alloy contains no allergenic additives, so it can be worn on the finger without worry of irritation. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, registered with the assay office, attesting to the origin of the metal. Lapis lazuli has long been associated with idealism, intuition and inner harmony - an association that makes it a fitting gift with personal meaning.

On the hand, it looks best paired with soft knitwear - a sweater in cool grey or navy, close to the tone of the stone itself. It also sits well in monochromatic outfits, where the navy of the lapis lazuli draws the eye against calm, uniform layers of clothing. At 2.4 grams, the ring sits lightly on the finger, never weighing down a gesture, and the small size of the stone means it suits an everyday sweater just as well as a relaxed, boho look for the whole day.
