An aquamarine ring that draws out the cool clarity of the stone in a modern, lightweight form. The faceted aquamarine gathers light deep within its blue - a colour that recalls the calm stillness of water, pure and saturated. Eight cubic zirconia stones surround it with a quiet brilliance, and the overall composition keeps the proportions right for an engagement and promise ring: nothing here is accidental, every element serves the stone.

The choice of this piece came down to colour and clarity - aquamarines of such transparency are becoming increasingly rare, and this quality remains at a reasonable price. It is set in refined sterling silver 925, free from nickel and harmful metal impurities. Rhodium protects the surface against tarnishing and maintains the shine for years. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark - a confirmation of the metal's origin.

For everyday wear, the ring works well with urban casual: a white shirt, slim-fit jeans and a leather jacket provide the backdrop against which the blue of the aquamarine on the hand catches the eye without any effort on the part of the outfit. The cool tone of the stone pairs well with grey and white, and the facets bring out flashes of light with every gesture.
