A solitaire ring pairs a starkly simple setting with a cabochon moonstone, where every element of the form serves one purpose: to let the blue sheen guide the eye. As the hand turns, the cabochon reveals adularescence - a soft, cool flash that moves across the surface like a reflection on water. The setting recedes into the background, and the minimal silhouette of the solitaire keeps the stone as the sole point of focus. Across many cultures, moonstone has been linked to intuition and meditation - an association that still lends it a certain quiet weight of meaning.

The choice of each individual piece comes down to the colour and clarity of the cabochon - only a stone with a distinct, saturated sheen makes it into the setting. Silver has risen in price, and good moonstones are becoming increasingly rare, so today's price is exceptionally fair. Refined sterling silver 925 contains no nickel or harmful impurities - the 925 fineness confirms the purity of the alloy and rules out the risk of allergic reactions. Rhodium deposited on the surface protects the silver against tarnishing and maintains a bright, lasting shine. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered at the French assay office.

For everyday wear, the ring pairs well with an oversized chunky jumper in off-white or a wool scarf in cool grey - a muted background brings out the blue flash of the stone with every movement of the hand. It works equally well with a casual linen shirt, where the clean form of the solitaire fits naturally into the current trend for jewellery free of unnecessary ornament.
