Three faceted peridots set in silver play with a warm, grassy green that shifts shade with every movement of the hand. The facets draw fine flashes of light from the stones, and the overall vintage composition blends the character of wedding jewellery with everyday wearability. Peridot is associated with nature and balance - this colour draws the eye without ostentation.

Each of the three stones was selected by hand: depth of colour and clarity were what mattered. The availability of quality peridots is limited by nature itself, and prices for good specimens continue to rise - this ring is a purchase made at a sensible moment. They are set in refined European sterling silver 925, stamped with the French maker's mark confirming the metal's origin. The alloy contains no nickel - the metal that causes allergic reactions - so the ring will not irritate the skin. The rhodium coating on the silver is hard and scratch-resistant, which translates into a lasting, bright shine.

For everyday wear, the ring pairs beautifully with a soft ecru-coloured jumper or an olive knit - the green stones then play with the background in a subtle, monochromatic way. Against dark graphite wool, the three peridots ring out more clearly and draw the eye to the hand. The lightweight form and classic setting mean the ring works equally well for everyday outfits and more formal occasions.
