Deep and subdued, this labradorite ring brings a cool, almost steely gleam to the hand. The cabochon cut does not scatter light into facets, but lets it glide across the stone's dark surface, hence those sudden flashes of blue glow that only appear when the hand turns. Four small cubic zirconia stones surround it discreetly, without drawing attention away from it. The ring's form remains classic and distinctly engagement in character, with a big surface of stone as the centrepiece of the composition. Labradorite was once associated with peace of mind and confidence in one's own decisions - today it is simply a stone that holds up well to everyday wear on the finger.

Each labradorite for this collection was examined individually before being set - what mattered was the depth of the dark background and the clarity of the blue flash. Good labradorites are rising in price along with precious metals, so buying at this price makes sense today. It is set in refined European sterling silver 925, free of nickel and other harmful additives, keeping the metal skin-friendly. The rhodium layer on the surface is hard and scratch-resistant, so the shine does not fade after months of wear. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal.

For summer, this ring pairs well with a linen dress in light beige or off-white - the stone's blue flash stands out clearly against natural, calm fabrics. It also works well with a simple cotton shirt with a rolled-up sleeve, when the hand stays at the centre of attention. The stone's big size means that the gesture of lifting a glass or adjusting your hair becomes more noticeable. At 3.4 grams, the ring does not weigh down the finger despite its striking form. This is jewelry for everyday wear, not just for special occasions.
