A turquoise solitaire ring brings a colour to everyday wear that is impossible to overlook. The cabochon reveals a uniform, deeply saturated blue surface - that characteristic of turquoise from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, where the stone is extracted in an exceptionally pure, green-free sky blue. The minimalist solitaire setting does not compete with the stone - the form steps back, and the eye stays with the blue.

Only a small fraction of the inspected raw material makes it into production, because a uniform colour free of discolouration is rare even at this mine. Arizona turquoise is becoming increasingly hard to source, and its prices are rising - buying now is financially sensible. It is set in refined sterling silver 925 of European quality, free from nickel and harmful metal additives. A rhodium layer maintains a bright, lasting shine for years. The French maker's mark stamped on the silver, registered at the French assay office, confirms the metal's origin.

Against a black top or a fitted turtleneck, the blue of the turquoise acts like a point of light - a hand wearing this ring draws attention even in a monochromatic outfit. An all-black look is the backdrop that sharpens the stone's colour and gives the solitaire a striking presence without any additional embellishment.
