A faceted blue topaz opens up in this ring through a series of small facets that catch the light and send it back in a cool, saturated blue. Twelve cubic zirconia stones surround it with an even, matched sparkle - none differs in tone from the others, so the whole reads as a single continuous line of light around the central stone. The modern, simple band doesn't draw attention away from this effect, and the topaz catches the eye from the very first glance at the hand. The cool blue of the stone has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind.

Every topaz for this ring is chosen for its clarity and even colour, so high quality doesn't come with a high price. Silver is rising in price, and good-quality stones are becoming harder to find, which makes buying at this price worthwhile today. Refined European silver, sterling silver 925, contains no nickel or other harmful additives, so it can be worn without worry of skin irritation. A rhodium coating protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the ring needs cleaning less often. The French maker's mark confirms the origin of the metal and accompanies this piece as a guarantee of its quality. This design works well as an engagement ring, but functions just as naturally as a promise ring, given without any anniversary occasion.

For a weekend look, the topaz pairs beautifully with an oversized sweater in cool grey and a soft scarf draped over the shoulders. The quiet, muted tones of the outfit give the stone's blue room to shine, and the hand's natural gesture of holding a cup of tea or adjusting the scarf shows off the ring effortlessly. It's a small size weighing 2.1 grams, so it wears lightly, without any sense of weight on the finger throughout the day.
