A deep, saturated turquoise blue gives this ring a distinctly retro character. The cabochon-cut stone has a uniform, calm colour that catches the light differently from faceted stones as the hand turns - instead of sparkle, it gives off a soft, matte glow. The simple, rounded setting keeps the focus on the turquoise, and the slender band sits well on the finger, following the movement of the hand with every gesture.

Each turquoise in this collection was inspected individually before being set - what matters is an even, deep colour with no discolouration, and this particular shade comes from the Sleeping Beauty mine in Arizona, prized for its uniform blue. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year after year, so a ring of this price and this quality of craftsmanship is a sensible choice today. The metal is refined European 925 silver, additionally rhodium-plated - the rhodium layer protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches, so the ring keeps its shine for a long time and needs less cleaning. The silver is stamped with the French maker's mark, confirming its origin. A pure alloy, free of metal additives that trigger allergic reactions, can be worn without worrying about skin irritation.

The vintage form makes this ring equally suited to serve as both an engagement and wedding ring - it combines classic character with an unconventional colour. For a family celebration, pair it with an elegant dress in a warm shade and small gold accents - in candlelight, the turquoise gains depth. It also works well with a simple, fitted dress in a cool blue tone, where the stone and the fabric complement each other. The medium size and weight of 3.3 grams give the ring a noticeable but not overpowering presence on the hand.
