Three faceted garnets sit in a row along the ring band, each cut so its facets catch the light at a different angle. The cut brings out the stone's deep, dark red colour and breaks it into fine flashes of light, with no cloudiness showing through - the garnet stays clean and clear. The classic, narrow band doesn't pull attention away from the stones, so it's the garnets that draw the eye on the hand.

A matching set of three garnets with such even, rich colour is easy to overlook, and a second set of similar depth is hard to find afterwards. Silver and good coloured stones get more expensive year after year, so buying this ring today looks like a sound decision from a price standpoint. The setting is held together in refined European silver 925, coated with a layer of rhodium that protects the surface from tarnishing and scratches - the shine stays bright for years to come. The alloy contains no nickel, the metal responsible for allergic reactions, so the ring can be worn without worrying about skin irritation. The inside of the band carries the French maker's mark, stamped as a mark of the metal's origin. With several stones set in a single row, the ring also works well as a wedding option for couples looking for an alternative to a single stone.

Its small size and light weight of 2.1 g mean the ring sits lightly on the finger and doesn't get in the way of everyday movements. For the office, pair it with a plain shirt and a blazer in muted grey or navy - the dark red of the garnets brings a lift to a calm palette without overdoing it. In the evening, it works well with a simple dress in a cool shade, where the row of garnets becomes the main focal point on the hand.
