The deep violet of the amethyst shifts with every turn of the hand, deepening into purple one moment, brightening into a soft glow in the light the next. The faceted cut breaks the colour into small flashes that fall differently with each gesture. The ring is very small in size with a minimalist band, so all the attention stays on the stone. This simple form, typical of promise rings, needs no additional embellishment.

An amethyst with such rich, pure colour and well-cut facets is easy to overlook among other stones, and a second one like it is hard to find later. Silver and good coloured stones are steadily rising in price, so buying now makes sense financially. At this price you get a carefully selected amethyst and a precisely finished setting, which is not a given in this segment. The rhodium layer protects the silver from tarnishing and scratches, so the shine lasts long. The metal is refined European silver, sterling silver 925, a pure alloy free of nickel and other irritant additives, so the ring can be worn without worry of irritation. The piece is signed with the French maker's mark, which attests the origin of the metal.

For everyday wear, this ring sits well with a soft, chunky knit sweater, especially in monochrome outfits - grey, beige or deep navy let the amethyst's violet fully stand out on the hand. Amethyst has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, and it also symbolizes inner balance. This association suits a promise ring worn daily as a personal gesture.
