This halo and engagement ring with a labradorite pairs a halo setting with a dark, mysterious stone cut as a cabochon. Around it sits a halo of twelve small cubic zirconia stones that catch the light and trace the outline of the central stone. As the hand moves, the surface of the labradorite reveals a blue, at times steely, flash - the characteristic play of colour known as labradorescence, visible only from certain angles. The form stays modern and unmistakably bridal, with no unnecessary embellishment around the main stone.

Each labradorite is examined carefully before it is set - what matters is the intensity of the flash and the clarity of the dark background against which it plays. Good labradorites rise in price along with precious metals, so buying one now makes financial sense. At this price you get a carefully chosen stone paired with precise setting work, a combination that is not always easy to find. The ring is made of refined European silver of high alloy purity, further coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and losing its shine for a long time. The 925 fineness confirms the purity of this alloy, free of nickel and other skin-irritating additives. The piece is stamped with the maker's mark, registered with the French assay office, attesting to the origin of the metal.

A ring like this looks well suited to an evening out - with the little black dress and a silk blouse, where the hand remains the centre of attention without any additional jewellery. The labradorite, glimpsed in a gesture around a glass of wine or during conversation, reveals its blue flash, creating a natural contrast against a dark outfit. In old symbolism this stone was linked to peace of mind, inspiration and self-belief, which makes it a fitting choice for an engagement ring with personal meaning. Its very small size and weight of 1.5 g mean it is worn lightly, never drawing attention away from the hand itself.
