Faceted aquamarine catches the light in tiny cool-blue reflections, like sunrise on water. This solitaire ring has a pared-back, minimalist form - the slim band doesn't distract from the stone, and the hand's line gains a certain lightness. The stone has long been associated with calm and clarity, though here it's really its clear, vivid colour that matters most.

For this piece we chose an aquamarine of exceptional clarity and colour intensity, free of any cloudiness - it was precisely this colour and clarity that decided the choice of stone. Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, and specimens like this one are becoming harder to find, so today's price is genuinely reasonable. The setting is made of refined European sterling silver 925, its purity confirmed by the fineness mark itself - an alloy free of nickel and harmful additives that won't irritate the skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the ring keeps its shine longer and needs less cleaning. The French maker's mark - confirming the metal's origin - completes the piece as a guarantee of craftsmanship.

In spring it pairs well with a pastel trench coat, a silk scarf in a soft shade and a light-coloured bag - the stone's blue then blends naturally into the rest of the look. It also works with a simple, pale jumper, when the hand stays the focus of attention. This is a ring for everyday wear, but equally for spring outings, when lightness and simplicity of form are what count.
