Retro and bold, this ring with seven emeralds pairs a vintage, flower-like arrangement of stones with a thoroughly modern clarity of form. The faceted emeralds show a dark, saturated green, and each facet catches the light differently, breaking it into small flashes with every movement of the hand. Seven stones set close together create a dense, engagement-worthy composition, in which the hand becomes a natural backdrop for the whole piece.

Each emerald is examined individually and chosen for its colour and clarity, because only then do seven stones together give a calm, even depth. Good emeralds are becoming harder to find, and the prices of both stones and silver have long been rising, so this set of seven stones at this price is a sound choice. The setting is pure, refined sterling silver 925 - an alloy free of nickel and other harmful additives, so the metal does not irritate the skin. The rhodium layer is hard and scratch-resistant, which lets the silver keep its shine for a long time without tarnishing. The metal bears a maker's mark struck on the silver, registered with the French assay office, which attests to its origin.

Despite its small size and weight of 2.0 g, the ring holds up well to everyday gestures - reaching for a cup, adjusting a shirt cuff. It looks striking on the hand with a natural linen shirt or a loose-cut cotton blouse, where the dark green of the emeralds stands out against the light, simple fabric. The same green also pairs well with the earthy autumn palette of sweaters. Seven emeralds in a vintage arrangement work equally well as an engagement ring and as an everyday piece of jewelry.
