Green and translucent, the peridot in this ring draws the eye with its soft, grassy hue. The faceted cut breaks light into small glimmers that bring the stone to life with every movement of the hand. The ring's form stays minimalist and classic, without unnecessary detail - a simple band conceived as a promise, where all attention remains on the stone.

Each peridot is assessed for colour and clarity before it is set - what matters is a rich green free of cloudiness. Silver and quality coloured stones are rising in price, and nature itself limits the supply of fine specimens, so a selection like this at this price makes sense today. It is set in refined European 925 silver, whose purity translates into lasting shine. A layer of rhodium protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts a long time. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal most likely to cause allergies, so the ring does not cause allergic reactions or irritation. Stamped on the inside is the French maker's mark, attesting to the metal's origin.

This ring feels best on the hand in relaxed, weekend styling. Wear it under an oversized thick wool jumper or with a soft scarf draped over the shoulders - the green of the peridot lifts greys and beiges without overdoing it. It also looks good next to a cup of coffee on a cool winter afternoon, when the gesture of the hand becomes a natural frame for the stone. Its very small size and weight of 2.0 g mean it wears light and unnoticed, until the light catches its facets.
