Delicate and distinctly modern, this solitaire ring pairs a cabochon-cut moonstone with two small cubic zirconia stones on either side. As your hand moves, a blue flash travels across the surface of the stone, as if the light were hiding inside it for just a moment. This glow is adularescence, a phenomenon characteristic of moonstone that shows best in a smooth, cabochon cut. In old beliefs moonstone was linked to intuition and inner awareness, making it a fitting choice for an engagement ring or a solitaire ring with a modest, minimalist form.

Each moonstone for this solitaire was hand-selected after being examined under light, so that the flash is clear and even across the whole surface of the cabochon. Prices of silver and good-quality moonstones are rising, so this level of quality at this price makes sense right now. The metal is refined European silver coated with rhodium, which is hard and scratch-resistant, so the ring's shine does not fade after a few weeks of wear. The 925 hallmark confirms the purity of the alloy, free of nickel and other harmful additives, which matters given direct contact with the hand. On the inside of the band is struck the French maker's mark, registered with the assay office, which attests to the metal's origin.

This is a ring for weekend outfits in calm tones: an oversized grey sweater, linen, a thin scarf tied over the shoulders. The blue flash of the moonstone holds its own against beige and ecru, drawing the eye without being flashy. At 2.3 grams, the ring is barely felt on the finger, and the small size of the stone means it suits an everyday sweater just as well as a simple dress for a quiet afternoon.
