This ring with three sapphires brings out a deep, cool navy hue in a clean, orderly form. The faceted cut breaks light into fine glimmers and reveals the stone's clarity without diluting its saturated colour. Two cubic zirconia set beside the sapphires add a discreet sparkle, but it's the depth of the navy that draws the eye. The modern, slender line of the band means the ring sits well on the hand and doesn't overwhelm smaller fingers.

This piece features three sapphires chosen for even colour and clarity, so the stones form a calm, uniform whole, and quality of this level remains reasonably priced. Silver and precious metals are rising in price, and good sapphires are becoming harder to source, so buying now makes sense price-wise. The setting is made of refined European silver, sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives, which makes contact with the metal safe for the skin. The rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, so the ring keeps its shine for a long time and the silver doesn't tarnish. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal.

As a wedding and engagement ring, it works well for family celebrations - with an elegant dress, in the warm glow of candlelight, alongside classic, understated accessories. The navy of the sapphire pairs well with light, delicate shades of clothing and with simple jewellery free of excess detail. Its small size and weight of 2.1 grams mean the ring sits light and comfortable on the finger, never weighing it down through a long evening. It's a form that stays distinct on the hand, yet is never overdone.
