Deep navy lapis lazuli opens up this ring like a fragment of the night sky. The cabochon cut shows off the stone's dark, saturated colour, while fine golden flecks of pyrite scattered across the surface bring irregular points of light into that darkness. The minimalist, smooth band doesn't distract from the stone - it's a simple form where the colour alone matters. The ring works both as a solitaire and engagement piece, discreet on the hand yet distinctly memorable.

For this piece we've chosen lapis lazuli with an even, deep colour, free of lighter discolouration that would lighten the overall composition. This level of quality at such an accessible price is becoming increasingly rare, as silver and good natural stones keep rising in price. The setting is refined European silver 925, further coated with rhodium, which protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine clear for years to come. The pure alloy, free of metal impurities that can irritate the skin, means the ring can be worn with no worries about skin irritation. The metal bears a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, attesting to its origin.

On the hand it looks best paired with soft knitwear - a sweater in cool grey or navy, close to the tone of the stone itself. Monochrome pairings, without additional patterns, let the colour of the lapis lazuli speak the loudest. Traditionally, this stone has been associated with intuition and inner harmony, which adds meaning to this ring as a gift. For everyday wear or as an engagement proposal, this small solitaire stays with the hand for a long time.
