A rich, deep jade cut as a cabochon brings a calm, muted shade of green to this classic ring. The stone's smooth dome gathers light at a single point and shows the depth of colour, rather than scattering it into sparkle or reflections - this is jade of a closed, even tone, free of cracks or discolouration.

Before it is set, every jade stone is examined for purity of colour and freedom from flaws - only those specimens that keep an even, deep green are chosen for this ring. The sterling silver 925 hallmark confirms the purity of the alloy, and refined European silver provides a solid base beneath the rhodium layer. Rhodium is hard and scratch-resistant, so the surface of the ring keeps its shine for a long time and does not tarnish. The metal is stamped with the French maker's mark, a legally protected mark registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin. Silver and fine coloured stones are steadily rising in price, and clean, evenly coloured jade stones are becoming ever harder to find, so buying a ring like this today makes sense from a price standpoint.

On the hand, this ring pairs well with natural fabrics - a linen shirt, a cotton dress or a loose sweater in a muted shade. With a simple, everyday outfit, it is the green jade that catches the eye as the hand moves in a gesture or holds a cup. The medium size means the ring doesn't weigh on the finger and suits both a morning look and an evening outing in a simpler, classic dress.
