Dark, almost graphite-toned labradorite conceals a blue flash that only reveals itself when the hand moves. A big cabochon set in rhodium-plated 925 silver forms a solitaire shape - a single stone with no additional embellishments, in a purely minimalist design. When light hits at an angle, a cool, steel-grey glow spreads across the dark surface, then fades a moment later, only to return with the next gesture of the hand.

For this piece we chose a stone with an exceptionally rich, even colour and a clean surface free of cloudiness - these are the qualities that earned it a place in this solitaire. Silver and quality labradorite get more expensive year after year, so a ring at this price is worth considering now. Refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity contains no nickel or other irritant additives, so it can be worn without concern for skin irritation. The rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and keeps the shine intact despite daily wear. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which establishes its origin and is registered with the assay office. In old beliefs, labradorite was linked to peace of mind and faith in one's own strength - an association that still accompanies it today.

Such a ring works well for a meeting in the city - paired with a trench coat, a cool grey turtleneck and simple loose-cut trousers. The neutral palette of the outfit creates space for the stone's blue flash to catch the eye instantly. The big size of the cabochon gives the hand a bold yet understated accent, and its weight of 5.0 grams makes it comfortable to wear all day long.
