This modern lapis lazuli ring draws the eye with its deep navy hue threaded with fine golden flecks. The cabochon cut shows off that intense glow without sharp edges, while the chunky, very big band gives the whole piece a confident, engagement look. In Mediterranean cultures lapis lazuli was linked to intuition and harmony - a fitting association for a ring meant to mark the start of something important.

Every stone is examined individually before it goes into its setting - what matters is the depth of colour and the clarity of the surface, with no visible clouding. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive every year, so a stone of this quality and price is worth considering now. The ring is made of refined European silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the metal from tarnishing and keeps its shine despite everyday wear. The alloy contains no nickel or other irritating additives, so the ring can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The piece is signed with the maker's mark establishing its origin, registered with the French assay office.

At 6.6 g, this piece has a clear presence on the hand, which is why it works well in looser, city-inspired outfits. It pairs nicely with simple jeans and a white shirt, where the navy cabochon becomes a natural focal point with every hand gesture. A leather jacket adds a bit of edge to the look, giving the ring a contrasting, dark backdrop. It's an everyday choice in which the engagement-style form doesn't lose its modern character.
