Six blue topaz stones line up in a rhythmic row around the ring, and the faceted cut breaks light into small flashes with every movement of the hand. Before they reach the setting, the stones pass through the jeweller's hands, who assesses the depth of the blue and the clarity of each facet - only those with the clearest colour are chosen for the ring. The cool shade of topaz brings to mind water and calm, which suits a design conceived with the wedding gesture of presenting a ring in mind. The modern, narrow band doesn't overwhelm the hand, while the multiple stones give it a decorative character fitting for this special occasion.

Silver and precious metals are rising in price, and topaz of such a saturated blue is becoming harder to find, which makes this ring a sensible choice today. At its core is pure, refined European sterling silver 925, free of nickel and harmful additives - it is the 925 fineness that confirms the purity of the alloy and means the metal is gentle on the skin. A layer of rhodium protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the ring needs less cleaning and keeps its shine for longer. The maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office, attests to the origin of the metal.

For everyday wear, the ring pairs well with simple jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket - the blue of the topaz lifts an otherwise understated, urban look. It also works well with a loose sweater and classic trousers, where the subtle sparkle of the stones adds expression to the hand without overdoing it. The medium size means the ring sits comfortably on the finger, without overwhelming the hand with its presence. This is a fitting choice for an engagement or wedding ring, where colour takes the place of the classic colourless stone.
