A vintage ring with three moonstones plays across the finger with a blue flash that shifts over the stone's surface with every turn of the hand. The faceted cut breaks light into fine glimmers, and adularescence - the cool glow this stone is known for - shows more clearly from a different angle. The retro line of the band and the row of three stones recall old jewellery forms, read today as something personal and understated. Moonstone has long been associated with intuition and inner focus, which suits a ring intended for an engagement or a wedding well.

Each of the three moonstones was examined individually and chosen for clarity and strength of reflection before being set. Silver and good stones get more expensive year after year, so buying a ring like this now makes sense price-wise. The setting is made of refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and other sensitising additives that doesn't burden sensitive skin even with everyday wear. A layer of rhodium protects the silver from tarnishing and losing its shine, keeping the lustre unchanged for longer. The metal bears a maker's mark registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

The ring weighs 2.3 grams, so it sits lightly on the hand despite the presence of three stones. It looks good alongside a soft cashmere or cotton sweater, especially in monochrome combinations such as grey, beige or ecru. Against simple knitwear, it's the moonstone's blue flash that catches the eye with the simplest gesture of the hand. Being both a wedding-style and multi-stone ring, it suits a special occasion just as well as everyday wear under a sweater sleeve.
