This labradorite engagement ring pairs a classic, understated form with a blue flash that emerges from the stone's dark background with every movement of the hand. The faceted cut breaks light into tiny facets, while two cubic zirconia stones at the sides add a delicate sparkle without taking the leading role away from the labradorite. The colour of this particular piece is deep, almost graphite, with a cool, steel-blue glow - it was this shade that decided the choice of this exact stone. The ring's form works equally well as an engagement proposal or as a wedding band.

We select every labradorite for this collection for its clarity and depth of colour, and quality like this can still be found at a reasonable price today. Silver and good stones are rising in price, and labradorites with a strong play of light are becoming rarer, so this is a good moment for such a purchase. The ring is made of refined European silver, and the 925 fineness confirms the purity of the alloy, free of nickel and harmful additives. The rhodium coating on the surface protects it against blackening and dulling, keeping the shine bright for years to come. The metal bears the French maker's mark - a legally protected mark registered with the French assay office, attesting to its origin. Labradorite has long been associated with calm thinking, inspiration and self-confidence, making it a fitting choice for such an occasion.

For a meeting in town, pair it with a trench coat and a roll-neck in cool grey - the stone's blue flash brings the muted colour palette of the outfit to life without the need for extra accessories. A hand wearing this ring also looks good against a simple graphite-toned coat or dark navy wool. The medium size of the stone and the weight of 3.1 g give it a lightness that is felt with every gesture of the hand. This is a ring that keeps its classic character while catching the light differently with every movement.
