Minimalist and unmistakably modern, this solitaire ring with a single emerald draws attention through the simplicity of its form, which leaves the focus entirely on the stone. The faceted cut opens up a deep, bottle green within the emerald and channels light along its narrow facets, so the colour shifts in intensity with every movement of the hand. The delicate band, set with a very small stone, suits a finger meant to stay understated yet clearly present.

The emerald chosen for this solitaire was selected for its clarity and depth of colour - these are what earned it its place in this setting. The prices of silver and fine coloured stones keep rising steadily, and pieces of this quality are becoming harder to find, so buying at this price makes sense now. The ring is set in refined sterling silver 925 of high alloy purity, free of nickel and other additives that could irritate the skin. The silver is coated with a layer of rhodium, a hard metal resistant to scratching, which keeps the shine lasting long and reduces everyday care to a minimum. The piece is stamped with the French maker's mark, which confirms the origin of the metal.

A ring like this feels at home in office styling - worn with a smooth shirt and a well-cut blazer in a muted, dark shade, it underlines the quiet character of the whole look without unnecessary contrast. Against suit grey or navy, the emerald brings one confident note of colour, visible with every gesture of the hand during a conversation or while signing documents. Outside the office, it works just as well with a simple silk blouse. At 1.5 grams, it wears without any weight on the finger throughout the day.
