A deep navy lapis lazuli in a cabochon cut opens up this ring with a bold, modern form. Golden flecks of pyrite scatter across the surface of the stone like tiny stars, catching the light differently with every movement of the hand. The colour across the stones in this collection is kept consistent - the navy tone stays deep and even, without lighter patches that would weaken the effect. Craftsmen of the past associated this stone with intuition and inner harmony, and today it is often seen as a symbol of sincere feelings, which suits an engagement or wedding ring well.

The rhodium silver gains a layer of rhodium, a hard metal resistant to scratching, so the shine lasts and the surface doesn't tarnish over time. Beneath it lies pure sterling silver 925 from European refining, free of nickel and other allergenic metal additives - it can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. Precious metal keeps rising in price, and good-quality lapis lazuli with even colour is getting harder to find, so this purchase makes sense from a price standpoint today. The French maker's mark guarantees the quality and origin of the precious metal with which this small yet striking ring, weighing 2.4 grams, is stamped.

For an evening out it works well with a little black dress and a silk blouse - the navy of the stone draws the eye while the rest of the look stays understated. On a hand free of other rings it gets the most space to stand out, and its form pairs well with modern, minimalist jewellery on the other hand. This is a suggestion for engagements and weddings for couples looking for colour and character in place of a classic diamond.
