This delicate, distinctly retro engagement ring brings a moonstone with a cabochon cut to the hand. As the hand moves, a cool blue flash appears on the stone's surface, shifting with the light. Moonstone has long been associated with intuition and inner calm. Vintage-inspired detailing surrounds it without overloading the design, and the ring's understated, medium silhouette sits well on the finger through every gesture.

The stone for this ring was chosen by hand, after examining many specimens for clarity and depth of reflection, so what you get is a piece of exceptional quality at a price that remains reasonable. Silver and good stones keep rising in price, and stones with a clean, distinct flash are becoming harder to find, which makes buying now a sound choice. The ring is made of pure, refined 925 sterling silver sourced and refined in Europe, free of nickel and harmful additives, so it can be worn without worrying about irritation. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the metal's shine intact for a long time and reducing daily care to a minimum. The metal is stamped with the French maker's mark, a legally protected mark registered with the assay office, which attests to its origin.

This ring feels right for an evening out. A little black dress and a silk blouse make a natural backdrop against which the stone's blue flash draws the eye as you raise a glass or adjust your hair. Simple, understated jewellery on the wrist and ears leaves room for that very gesture of the hand. Its vintage form means the ring holds its own against modern designs, while keeping a character that is impossible to mistake for anything else in the jewellery drawer.
