This solitaire ring with a peridot draws out the stone's deep green colour, and the faceted cut catches light in sharp, small flashes. The green shade of the peridot brings to mind the freshness of spring grass - a simple, natural association without unnecessary flourish. The minimalist, narrow band doesn't distract from the stone. On the hand the form reads light and modern, and the very small size of the stone means the ring can be worn easily every day.

Only a small portion of the sorted rough makes it into the setting - what matters is the purity and intensity of the green, the rest is set aside. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive every year, so a peridot like this can still be bought today at a reasonable price. The ring weighs 1.5 grams and is made of refined silver of European quality, sterling silver 925, signed with the French maker's mark registered at the assay office, which attests the origin of the metal. The rhodium layer is harder than silver alone, which helps the surface resist scratches for longer and prevents tarnishing, keeping the shine clear for a long time. The pure alloy, free of nickel and other harmful additives, doesn't irritate the skin.

A ring like this fits well into weekend layering - with an oversized sweater in cool beige, a scarf thrown over it and simple trousers. The green peridot brings life to a muted, calm palette without overdoing it. It also works with a linen shirt tied in a knot or a cotton dress for a walk. A small faceted stone on the hand is enough to add colour and character to a look.
