This rose quartz ring draws out a warm, gentle glow from the stone, and the faceted cut scatters it into tiny flickers of light across the whole surface. The minimalist form of this solitaire ring keeps all attention on the stone - a slim band of rhodium-plated 925 silver leads the eye straight into its pink depths. It's a solitaire and promise ring in one: simple in line, yet distinctly present on the hand.

Only a small share of the raw material we review makes it into this piece - what matters is the stone's clarity and depth of colour, and we hand-pick the best examples. Nature itself limits the availability of fine stones, and silver and precious metal prices have long been rising, so it's worth having a good ring at a fair price now rather than later. The band is made of pure, refined European silver, sterling silver 925, and a rhodium layer protects it from tarnishing and dulling, so the shine stays bright for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for most skin reactions, so the ring can be worn without worry. The piece bears the French maker's mark, which guarantees the metal's origin.

Rose quartz has been linked for generations of jewellery tradition with tenderness and harmonious relationships, making this ring a natural gift choice for important family occasions. It looks wonderful at celebrations with a more elegant dress, in the warm light of a living room, paired with classic, understated accessories. The stone's soft colour pairs well with light, powdery shades of outfit, and its small, compact form doesn't weigh down the hand, leaving room to gesture freely at the table or on the dance floor.
