Two labradorite cabochons set in rhodium-plated 925 silver draw out a cool, blue flash against a dark, almost graphite background. As you turn your hand, this glint shifts and changes intensity, fading one moment and brightening with a steely shine the next. A modern, simple band keeps the focus on this play of light, and the ring's form - conceived as a promise ring - stands up well to everyday wear. Labradorite has long been associated with calm thinking, self-belief and inspiration, which makes it a fitting choice for this particular occasion.

A pairing of two stones with such even depth of colour and a clean, unclouded background is easy to overlook - a second one of similar character is hard to find afterwards. Silver and quality stones are rising in price, and labradorites worth having are becoming rarer, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The ring is made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other harmful additives, so the metal does not irritate the skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine bright for years to come. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark establishing its origin, registered with the assay office in France.

A ring like this works well for a family celebration - worn with an elegant dress, in the warm glow of candlelight, alongside classic, understated accessories, the stone's blue flash catches the eye at once. It also suits a simple shirt and tailored trousers when you want a discreet but clear accent on the hand. At a weight of 3.6 grams, the ring sits light and doesn't weigh down the gesture most often used to offer a promise.
