This wedding and engagement ring set with three aquamarines catches a cool blue light with every turn of the hand. The faceted cut breaks light into fine glints, and the stone's colour shifts from a pale sapphire to a deeper, sea-like tone depending on the angle you view it from. Two cubic zirconia stones add discreet sparkle on the sides, without drawing attention away from the main stones. The modern, slender band keeps the design uncluttered - it's the three aquamarines that lead the eye. This arrangement works well as an engagement ring, but sits just as naturally on a wedding day.

Each aquamarine is inspected individually before being set - what matters is clarity and an even tone of colour, not just the size of the stone. Silver and good coloured stones rise in price year on year, so a purchase like this makes sense today. The stones are set in refined sterling silver 925 of European quality, additionally coated with rhodium - this layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, so the ring needs cleaning less often. The alloy is free of nickel and other sensitising additives, making it safe even for sensitive skin. The metal is stamped with the French maker's mark, which attests its origin.

For an evening out, it pairs well with the little black dress or a silk blouse - the cool blue of the aquamarine stands out against black and needs no other jewellery on the same hand. Its small size means the ring sits close to the finger and doesn't weigh down the gestures we make more often today than people once did at the table or over a glass of wine. This is a shape made for a hand that should be noticed, not overloaded.
