Three faceted amethysts play across this ring with a deep, dark purple glow that reveals a new flash of colour with every movement of the hand. The classic, symmetrical multi-stone setting means the design works well as a wedding ring - understated in line, yet rich to look at. Amethyst's violet glow has long been associated with calm and clarity of mind, and in some traditions it was treated as a symbol of inner balance.

A set of three stones with such closely matched, saturated colour and clarity is not easy to repeat - a second piece with a comparably matched shade is hard to find. Silver and precious metals have been steadily rising in price in recent years, so buying now makes sense from a price perspective. The ring is made using the vermeil technique: a core of refined European 925 silver is coated with a layer of 18-carat gold, which is the only part in contact with the skin and is responsible for wearing comfort, including for sensitive skin, since the alloy is free of nickel and other allergenic additives. Compliance with the French vermeil standard is confirmed by the stamped V mark, and the silver beneath the gold has been stamped with the French maker's mark.

The summer months are a natural time for a ring like this - it looks good on the hand with a flowing linen dress in light beige or with a simple cotton shirt. The dark purple of the amethyst stands out clearly against white and sand tones, drawing the eye without the need for extra ornamentation. The small, delicate form means the ring can be worn freely with every gesture, and the classic lines of the setting never go out of style, season after season.
