Romantic and distinctly retro, this silver engagement ring holds a moonstone in a cabochon cut. The smooth, domed surface brings out a characteristic blue shimmer that shifts across the stone with every movement of the hand, while revealing no cracks or flaws - the cabochon shows the stone in its purest form. The ring's shape, with its thick band and big stone, has a clearly boho character, close to vintage jewelry from decades past.

For this piece we chose a stone with an even, calm colour, free of discolouration that would spoil the sense of unity with the metal. Silver and good natural stones get more expensive year on year, so buying now makes price sense. The ring is made from pure, refined sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives that could irritate the skin. The metal is stamped with a maker's mark registered at the French assay office, attesting to its origin. In old beliefs, moonstone was associated with intuition, awareness and meditation, which adds meaning to it as an engagement ring.

For a meeting in town it pairs well with a trench coat and a turtleneck in cool, neutral tones - greys and beiges let the stone's blue shimmer fully reveal itself on the hand. Its big size makes the ring noticeable with every gesture, with no need for extra adornments on the fingers. It weighs 5.5 grams, felt as a confident yet not overwhelming presence on the hand.
