This vintage ring with labradorite pairs a retro-inspired setting with the stone's dark, dense glow. The cabochon's smooth, domed surface reveals a blue, at times steely flash that suddenly appears as you turn your hand and fades when the light shifts. Only a small share of the sorted raw material makes it into the finished piece - what matters is the intensity of that flash and the clarity of the background, free of clouding or flaws. Jewellers of the past associated this stone with calm thinking, inspiration and confidence in one's own decisions, which suits well the character of a wedding and engagement ring with a vintage character.

Silver and fine stones have been steadily rising in price for some time now, so such a careful selection of labradorite at this price is a sound decision to make today. The setting is made of refined European silver, and the 925 fineness confirms the purity of this alloy - free of nickel and other harmful additives that could irritate the skin. A rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the metal's shine lasts long despite everyday wear. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the origin of the metal - proof of European craftsmanship, visible directly on the silver.

The very big size of the stone means the ring holds its own in classic, elegant looks for family celebrations - paired with a silk dress in a muted shade, delicate earrings and the warm evening light of a reception hall. With a simple gesture of the hand, raising a glass or adjusting your hair, it's the blue flash of the labradorite that draws the eye. The vintage form and weight of 6.1 g give the ring a distinct presence on the finger, without feeling heavy for everyday wear after the celebration.
