The faceted garnet in this ring plays with a deep, dark red glow that shifts intensity with every movement of the hand - from purple to an almost black shade in the play of the facets. The minimalist solitaire form does not distract from the stone: a narrow band and a small setting let light travel freely from one facet to the next. This is a very small ring that, despite its modest size, draws the eye with its concentrated colour.

Each garnet for this solitaire is examined individually and chosen for its saturated, clear colour free of clouding. Good, deeply red stones of this size are becoming scarcer, and the prices of silver and precious metals are rising month by month, so a purchase like this makes sense from a price standpoint today. The setting is made of refined European silver, a pure alloy free of nickel and harmful additives, confirmed by the 925 fineness. A rhodium layer protects the surface against tarnishing and scratches, meaning the ring needs less everyday cleaning. The French maker's mark is a guarantee of the quality and origin of the precious metal, signing each piece.

The deep red of the garnet pairs beautifully with a romantic style: a lace blouse, a small floral-print dress or a powder-pink sweater. On a hand wearing a lace-patterned glove or holding a cup of tea, this small stone gains an extra softness. The delicate, very small solitaire form also works well alongside other rings worn on the same hand, without competing with them in volume. It weighs just 2.3 grams, so it wears lightly all day long.
