This romantic, distinctly retro moonstone ring draws out something the stone doesn't reveal at first glance. In the cabochon cut, the surface looks calm until you move your hand - then a cool, blue flash slides across it, disappearing and returning with every turn of the finger. A piece where this reflection is clear and even is easy to overlook among ordinary stones, and a second one with such a pure shimmer is hard to find afterwards. The vintage silhouette of the band, gently profiled, suits the character of this stone well and fits the role of a wedding or engagement ring.

The moonstone has long been associated with intuition and inner focus, and in some jewelry circles it was regarded as a symbol of awareness and peace of mind. This association sits well with the symbolism of engagement. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year after year, so a ring of this quality at this price is a sound choice today. The metal is refined European silver 925, a pure alloy free of nickel and harmful additives, that does not irritate the skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface from scratches and loss of shine for years to come. The French maker's mark is a guarantee of the quality and origin of the precious metal, visible on the inside of the band.

For everyday wear, the ring looks good with a soft, chunky knit sweater, especially in monochromatic pairings - beige on beige or grey on grey, where the stone's blue flash catches the eye with every movement of the hand. It also works well with a simple shirt and a rolled-up sleeve, when you want the stone itself, not the accessories, to hold the attention. The medium size and weight of 4.3 grams keep the ring light on the finger, so it doesn't weigh you down when worn all day.
