The deep navy of lapis lazuli opens up this engagement ring like a window onto the night sky. The cabochon cut rounds off the surface of the stone and lets light glide gently across it, while fine flecks of pyrite scatter through it like sprinkled sparks. In the old jewelry workshops of the Middle East, this stone was linked to idealism, intuition and harmony - today that symbolism suits a ring given at the moment of an important decision well. The very big size of the stone means the hand wearing it draws attention the instant light touches it.

Every lapis lazuli in this collection was examined individually, its colour and clarity assessed before it was set - this careful selection keeps quality high while keeping the price reasonable. Good stones of this kind are becoming scarcer over time, since their availability is limited by nature itself, and silver and precious metals have risen in price in recent years. That makes buying now a sound choice price-wise. The ring weighs 7.1 g and is made of refined European 925 silver, additionally coated with a layer of rhodium - this metal protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts a long time. The pure alloy, free of nickel and other allergy-triggering additives, holds up well to everyday wear even on sensitive skin. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the metal.

The classic form of this ring pairs well with a romantic look - a lace blouse in a powder shade or a flowing dress in pastel pink. On a hand adorned with a delicate bracelet, the stone still remains the strongest focal point, as its navy depth naturally draws the eye. A thin gold watch on the opposite wrist also suits a light, delicate look well, without taking attention away from the lapis lazuli. This ring makes a fitting choice for a moment meant to be remembered for a long time.
