This ring catches the eye with a blue flash that shifts with every movement of the hand. The two moonstones set in a cabochon cut carry a rich, cool glow - an adularescence that shifts from pearly grey to a clear blue depending on the angle of the light. The modern, understated band keeps the focus on this play of light, and the slim silhouette means the ring wears lightly, almost unnoticeably on the finger. Moonstone has long been associated with intuition and inner awareness, and in some traditions it accompanied moments of focus and meditation.

A matched pair of two stones with even colour and a clean reflection is easy to overlook - a second, equally well-matched stone is hard to find later on. We select the stones carefully, because only a well-matched pair gives a coherent effect in the setting, yet the ring still remains reasonably priced. The rhodium silver gains a hard, bright coating that protects against tarnishing and blackening, so the shine lasts for years. This is refined European silver, sterling silver 925, with a pure alloy free of nickel and other allergenic additives - it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The French maker's mark confirms the origin of the metal, and silver has clearly risen in price in recent years, so buying at this price today makes sense.

The ring pairs well with a romantic style - a lace blouse, a powder-pink dress or a cotton shirt with delicate embroidery. Its subtle form and the stone's blue flash also suit delicate jewellery worn layered on the hand. As a promise ring, it works well with simple, light outfits, where the moonstone itself draws the eye. Its small size and weight of 2.5 grams make it a ring for everyday wear, not only for special occasions.
