Two cabochon lapis lazuli stones catch the eye with a deep navy hue shot through with fine golden flecks of pyrite. That dark, saturated glow pairs well with a simple, modern band that keeps the focus on the stone. The ring brings several stones together in one composition, once regarded as a form of promise - a gift to mark an important moment. Lapis lazuli has long been linked with intuition and inner harmony, though today it is simply a stone prized for its exceptionally intense colour.

Only a small share of the vetted raw material makes it into this ring - what matters is depth of colour and purity of structure, free of cracks and discolouration. Silver and good coloured stones are steadily rising in price, so buying this quality at today's price makes practical sense. Refined European silver 925 forms a pure metal here, free of allergenic additives, so the ring can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing, keeping the shine clear for a long time. The piece is signed with the maker's mark establishing its origin, registered with the French assay office.

The ring's big, striking shape sits well on the hand in spring outfits - a pastel trench coat, a silk scarf tied at the neck and a light, structured bag. The navy of the lapis lazuli brings life to a soft palette of beige and powder pink, and the hand gesture of holding a bag or a cup naturally shows off the stone. At 4.5 g, it has a noticeable yet comfortable presence on the finger. This is a ring for spring afternoons, walks and get-togethers, where a simple, striking detail is what counts.
