Why Mi-Marguerite Makes All My Friends (And Their Boyfriends Too) Go Crazy

Zohra hates being stared at. Even as a child, she avoided the spotlight, preferring the shadows to center stage. So when Mehdi took out AZOR's Mi-Marguerite ring for his proposal, I thought he'd chosen the wrong girl.

My mistake.

“Look how discreet she is,” Zohra told me, showing me her hand three days later. “She doesn’t scream ‘look at me,’ she whispers ‘I have value.’” And that’s exactly the genius of this Mi-Marguerite ring .

In a world saturated with large, flashy diamonds, AZOR has opted for subtlety. This ring resembles a newly bloomed daisy, with delicate 18-karat gold petals surrounding a sparkling center. Nothing ostentatious, all finesse.

My sister Aicha, who's a fan of statement jewelry, completely changed her mind after seeing Zohra's. "I thought engagement rings were supposed to be visible from a distance," she admits. "But ultimately, this discretion is much more chic."

The price of 5,200 dirhams places this ring within an affordable range for an engagement, especially compared to the more flashy creations of the competition. But above all, it ages well. I met Fatima, married for five years to her Mi-Marguerite. She still wears it every day, unlike her friends who have put their enormous solitaires at the bottom of their jewelry boxes.

What I like about AZOR is this understanding of today's women. We no longer want our grandmothers' jewelry, those pieces we take out twice a year for special occasions. We want jewelry that reflects us, that we can wear to the office as well as to a restaurant.

The Mi-Marguerite ring meets this need exactly. Elegant enough for an important dinner, discreet enough for a workday. It adapts to your life instead of forcing you to adapt your life to it.

Mehdi told me that he had hesitated for a long time between several more "spectacular" models. "But when I saw this one, I thought of Zohra picking daisies in her grandmother's garden when we were little. It was obvious."

Sometimes the most beautiful declarations of love are whispered.
