The turquoise cabochon opens up under the light with a smooth, even surface - the blue gathers at the centre and softens gently towards the edges, without a trace of cloudiness. Before it was set, every stone was assessed for purity of colour and even saturation, because only such specimens deliver this calm, deep shade. The ring has a modern, clearly defined form and works equally well as an engagement proposal or a wedding band - in both roles the turquoise leads the whole composition.

Turquoises of such uniform colour come from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona and are among the most sought-after on the market. Silver and good stones rise in price year on year, so buying a ring like this today remains a financially sound decision. The ring is made of refined European sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and other sensitising additives ensures comfort even for sensitive skin. The rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, so the surface keeps an even shine for a long time without signs of dulling. The French maker's mark on the metal confirms its origin, and the European quality of workmanship is visible in every detail of the setting. At 4.8 grams and a very big size, the ring sits securely on the hand without overwhelming the finger.

Summer lightness is the natural setting for this turquoise - it looks good against a flowing linen dress in light beige or a simple cotton shirt. A tanned hand further emphasises the intensity of the blue, and the gesture of a hand wearing the ring becomes a natural focal point with every movement. This is a proposal for couples who, in their engagement and wedding, are looking for colour rather than the classic sparkle of a diamond.
