Azuni Iona Entwined Ring In Peach Moonstone

The Azuni Iona Entwined Ring  set with either iolite mix or peach moonstone mix (£45) semi precious stones is a great way to get the look of a set of stacking ring without the faff of having to put several rings on, ensuring that they fit and coordinate together but most importantly of all that they are comfortable to wear! 

I chose the peach moonstone ring. The ring is available in 3 sizes - L, P, N.  The ring measures 18mm at its highest point and is set with 7 semi precious stones which are peach and white moonstone and aqua chalcedony. It has a 22k gold plate finish. The ring is quite wide at the back to accommodate all the different bands which are fused or linked together making sure they sit comfortably on your finger. The stones are all cut to get maximum sparkle. The white moonstone is the most vibrant out of all the stones,  glowing in the sunlight.  The ring comes in a protective pouch and gift box. 

As I purchased my ring during Black Friday weekend a percentage of my purchase went to support the work of Pueblo a Pueblo, a charity which works in rural Guatemala to help children  receive an education, which is a great cause to support. I love my ring and I am pleased that my purchase will, in a small way, help someone else.

Review: Azuni Small Sculptural Ring & Iona Labradorite Studs

I was given these pieces of jewellery as a Christmas present but due to family circumstances have only just got round to wearing and reviewing them. One of my first pieces of expensive posh jewellery was Azuni. I have a picture of the earrings and pendant in an earlier blog post. Azuni wee established in 1996 and their ethos is to create fair trade and ethical jewellery which incorporates different designs and cultures. 

I already blogged about the Athena narrow sculptural cuff which remains one of my favourite pieces of jewellery. The small Thalia sculptural ring is made in the same  style but just has labradorite stones set in it. It measures 15mm and is 18k gold plate. The ring is adjustable and comes in a little Azuni pouch. I find this ring comfortable to wear. The labradorite stones change colour according to the light so can shift from grey to brown to a green which is why I like the stone so much. Like all Azuni pieces the ring is timeless, unusual and eye catching without being contrived or looking over done.

The Iona labradorite gemstone earrings are £20, measure approx 7mm in diameter  and are 24k gold plated brass with gold plated Sterling Silver ear posts. They come in an Azuni presentation pouch. The intricate setting makes the earrings stand out from just being stud earrings. The cut of the labradorite stone makes them flash different colours according to the lighting making the gem look vibrant and eye catching. They are easy to put in the ear and comfortable to wear.

Azuni Athena Narrow Sculptural Cuff

Ashley Marshall established Azuni in 1996 - one of my favourite pieces is from one of his first collections. His designs incorporate different cultures and designs whilst maintaining his ethical and fair trade stance. 

The Azuni Athena sculptural cuff (narrow version) is inspired by ancient treasures and is both functional and fantastic. It is eye catching and unusual but is also comfortable and doesn't catch or snag on coats or jumpers. As I can mould it to my wrist as it is open backed and flexible I am not continually checking that it is still there. It is quite light to wear. 

I have difficulty fastening bracelets due to spatial issues and lack of grip on my hands. This bracelet is easy to put on as I just slide it on my wrist than adjust it to the size I want by moulding it to my wrist. 

I ordered mine from Amazon UK, it came wrapped in purple tissue paper and has its own little soft drawstring pouch to protect it.  I did email Azuni directly with several questions which they answered promptly and were really helpful in their replies. 

 

The cuff is finished in 24k Matt gold and the semi prescious cabochon stones are amethyst, peridot and garnet. The cuff's width is 45mm and as it has an open back can be adjusted to most wrist sizes - my wrist is 5" and it fits just fine.
