On the hand, the labradorite cabochon shimmers with a blue, sometimes steely flash against a dark, almost graphite background. Only a small part of the sorted raw material makes it into the piece - the part with the purest colour pattern. The smooth cabochon cut doesn't scatter this effect through small facets, but concentrates it in one spot on the stone, so the glow appears clearly with the slightest movement of the hand. In old craft traditions, labradorite was associated with calm thinking and confidence in one's own decisions. The simple, classic band doesn't draw attention away from it, which means this ring works equally well as a solitaire ring worn on its own or as an engagement proposal.

Silver and good labradorites are rising in price, and this simple form with a striking stone at this price is a sensible choice today. The stone is set in pure, refined silver, European sterling silver 925, additionally coated with a layer of rhodium. Rhodium is hard and scratch-resistant, so the surface keeps its shine for a long time and doesn't tarnish over time. An alloy free of nickel and other metal additives known to cause skin sensitivity ensures comfort even for sensitive skin. The metal bears a maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

This small piece works well in an office look: pair it with a smooth shirt in cool grey or a plain jacket in a muted shade, where the blue flash of the stone draws the eye. Against a deep purple sweater, the cabochon takes on an even deeper tone. The ring's small size means it doesn't weigh on the finger and works just as well for everyday gestures as for a more important occasion.
