This vintage turquoise ring pairs a softly rounded, retro silhouette with a stone of dense, deep blue colour. The turquoise, cut as a cabochon, shows an even, calm colour with no streaks or flashes of other shades - it was precisely this purity of colour that decided the choice of this particular stone. The stone comes from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, source of some of the most prized turquoise on the market. As the hand turns, its surface reflects light smoothly while keeping a matte, stony character rather than a glassy shine.

The solitaire form, also known as a solitaire and promise ring, has long accompanied moments of important declarations and personal rituals. The setting is made of refined European silver 925, and the fineness itself confirms the purity of the alloy, free of nickel and harmful additives. A rhodium layer protects the silver from tarnishing and dulling, keeping the shine visible for a long time. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal. Silver and fine stones keep rising in price, and turquoise with such an even colour is getting harder to find, so this piece at its current price is a sound choice.

For everyday wear, the ring sits well with a soft, chunky-knit sweater, ideally in a monochromatic combination - beige on beige or grey on grey. Cool grey and off-white bring out the saturated blue of the turquoise best on the hand. It can be paired with a second, thinner ring on the same hand without looking overdone. Its small size and weight of 1.8 g mean the ring is barely noticeable on the finger, despite its distinctly vintage form.
