This vintage-style engagement ring plays with the green of three faceted peridots, set in a row on a slim band. Peridot has long been associated with sunshine and good spirits, and its warm, vivid colour shows well from every angle thanks to the facets, which catch the light with every movement of the hand. This is a multi-stone design, conceived as an engagement piece nonetheless - small, yet striking through colour rather than size.

Each of the three stones was examined individually and chosen for its clarity and depth of green, so the quality of this set is no accident but the result of careful selection. Silver and good coloured stones are rising in price, and peridots with this intensity of colour are harder to find today, which makes this purchase a sensible one right now. The refined 925 silver of European quality used for the band is an alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives, so even with everyday wear it does not irritate the skin. The layer of rhodium covering the silver protects it against tarnishing and scratches, keeping the shine bright for years to come. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests to the origin of the silver.

At two digits on the scale and 2.2 grams, this ring stays almost invisible on the hand until it catches the light. It looks great in an everyday, urban style - with simple jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket, where the green accent on the finger brings life to a muted colour palette. It can be worn on its own or paired with a second, thinner band on the same hand. Its small size and delicate form mean it sits well among other rings, without getting in the way of everyday gestures.
